I don't have an answer but I can point you in a direction of a possible option.
Take a look at this: http://photos.guidofamily.org/grid.PNG We need to do some fine grained permissions. Not nearly as fine grained as your require. But I can see adding other edit/permissions options to the drop down for each member according to a resource. Or possibly having group rights (admin, user, editor or what not) and granting an individual certain rights (as defined by a group) to a particular resource. I used coldext to do this btw. http://coldext.riaforge.org/ coldext was pretty easy to pick up. And Justin was nice enough to answer some questions when I needed a hand with it. Let me know if you need any help with this as I have some working code examples.
