How do I set up the component so that the entries can only be edited by the user who made the entry. Admin user would have full access to all entries.

You can do this with the help of your ACL's
Make your user Author and give him EDIT OWN privileges. And it will have your setup ready.

This is very old topic... lol

The answer is correct, but incomplete.
If you want that the others users do not have access, then you must combine with published = 0
(Published wizard + default value:0)

Then when an item is published, the author will still have the only access to edit, and the item will be shared.
Very simple indeed.
Coding is now a piece of cake

For starters it's just so easy to design an app in a way that I'm used to i.e. database first then views followed by customization. The fork system is pure brilliance from a developer standpoint as I can override things and still add and update my projects with minimal effort! Truly amazing to be able to build components in Joomla using incremental refinement without having to do everything by hand. Thanks for the great tool! I am so much more productive now than ever and I can't imagine building components any other way!!!!
