I might have missed this one, but I was looking for a hook that will fire when the list of pages is built (in admin/pages.php) and allows to manipulate what pages will be seen.
I needed multi-user capabilities where only the user that created (owns) a page should be allowed to edit that page. As I did not find this functionality built-in or directly using available plug-ins, I did the following:
* installed the Multi-User plug-in to have support for adding and managing users from /admin
* installed the i18n custom fields plug-in; it automatically adds a "user" field to new pages and fills it with the logged-in user
* because I did not find the appropriate plug-in hook, hacked the loop in pages.php to check for each iteration if the logged-in user is the same as the user field stored in the page data. If not, skip the page (do not list it). It was only one line and worked fine.
Of course, this isn't really safe because anyone who knows a page's ID can manually build a link to edit that page (edit.php?...). I did not add the check to edit.php. But it's working fine for now, so I'll leave it at that.
