Try the node reference module for hierarchical
content.
Giving user s permissions to edit own
content could be configured through access control.

College Website Migrating to Drupal
Thanks Shyamala...
Right now I am giving time to the learning curve required by the Views module.
Views and CCK look like essential for any web portal with Drupal. According to
the knowledge I have, I can figure out that I can easily fetch 5 top stories from
the news and events content types.
Organic Groups module looks awesome from managing groups along with
permissions.
Now what I am really looking here is a kind of module that helps me in creation
of hierarchical content for each user. e.g. a user creates four content nodes,
then each node could have 3 child nodes each. That node could be of any type.
Say Video, Gallery Pages, Class Notes, Resume etc. Permissions over each such
content created by user is very important. As for example a student should not
be able to edit the content created by other student or a society-head of the
college.
Also I am looking for a way there so that I could list each user's space with a
URL like "http://collegedomain/studentpages/studentname".

Hi,
The below modules should help.
Organic Groups: http://drupal.org/project/og
Enable users to create and manage their own 'groups'. Each
group can have subscribers, and maintains a group home page where subscribers
communicate amongst themselves. They do so by posting the usual node types:
blog, story, page, etc. A block is shown on the group home page which
facilitates these posts. The block also provides summary information about the
group.
Groups may be selective or not. Selective groups require approval
in order to become a member, or even invitation -only groups. There are lots of
preferences to configure groups as you need.
Groups get their own theme, language, taxonomy, and so on.
Integrates well and depends upon Views module
Views: http://drupal.org/project/views
This tool is essentially a smart query builder that, given
enough information, can build the proper query, execute it, and display the
results. It has four modes, plus a special mode, and provides an impressive
amount of functionality from these modes.
and CCK: http://drupal.org/project/cck
CCK, will help us
create custom node types.
