    Is there a way that “owners” of an entry can access their entry to edit it? It seems once an entry has been submitted and approved, only the admin can make edits. Thanks for your help!

    Sound like you are looking for the Link extension. This add-on will link a user account with an entry within Connections to allow them to maintain their own entry with or without moderation.

    I hope that helps.

    Hmmm…maybe. The site I am using Slim + on doesn’t require people to log in except to access the page where they are able to add an entry. For that, the page on which the entry form is located is a password-protected WordPress page. With Link, the link on login feature says when someone logs in, Link will search Connections for a matching email address. But, currently logging into the entry form page just requires a common password and gives them a new, blank entry form. How can I set it up differently so that Link would work for me?

    Ok, I did know you were using Form … Form is for just site visitors to leave moderated/non-moderated submissions into the directory. You’ll need to have the users submit their entry using the Edit My Directory Entry admin profile page, not with Form. Existing users, when they login will be linked to their entry the next time they login and will be able to edit their entry.

    Now, Form 2.0 and Link 2.0 will work together. Form 2.0, which was rewritten from scratch, by itself will have front-end editing for the users that have the appropriate permissions in addition to taken directory submissions from site visitors. And when Link 2.0 is installed with Form 2.0, the user will be able to submit and maintain their entry from the front-end using Form. I’m targeting the end of the month for their release with the next version of Connections, version 0.8 which is a massive update. Until then my suggestion is not to use Form. Use Link instead, that’ll accomplish what you need.
