Question about set approval process on a page.

Question

Dear all,
Here is my scenario:
I created a page for HR department. There are 3 regions (HR Documents, News and Events) on the page for uploading files.
3 workers in HR department are responsible for uploading their files into the 3 regions respectively.
The question is that since each worker is responsible for each region only, is there a way to limit the ADD/UPDATE priviliage for a region to a particular worker so that other workers cannot access them.
Also, can more than 1 approval process be defined on a page such that the ADD/UPDATE actions by the 3 workers can be approved by another 3 supervisors?
thanks

Hey George:
There is no way to do what you seek directly, however, if you make each region a page portlet of a stand alone page, then you can achieve exactly what you seek.
Setup identical blank pages with regions configured however you need (you may want to use a template so changing a region layout or attribute display will automatically apply to each page). Give each user appropriate permissions and setup the desired approval path for each page. In page properties, make sure show as portlet is checked on the optional tab. Move the files form each region to the new pages and add these page portlets to the page where the files are currently located. If you turn on the edit bar for each portlet, the users can add files without having to drill down to the actual storage page
