Best practice for editing data in enterprise geodatabase if there are feature classes different privileges needed on one feature dataset

Hello,

GDB version 109006

We have employee needed to edit only one feature class on one feature dataset which contains more than 15 other Feature classes.

Are there any way applicable to grant him edit permission on this feature class without granting edit on the other feature classes within the same feature dataset.

if there is no way to do this as this is a rule when granting permission stated here on documentation

https://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/manage-data/geodatabases/grant-dataset-privileges.htm

"All feature classes in a feature dataset must have the same privileges applied"

I'm wondering what is the best practice to edit feature classes within feature dataset with different user permission?

is it versioning ?

is it feature service editing?

Need your input if it will be used for large scale.

Best practice is to design your feature datasets so that only feature classes that need to be edited together are in a single feature dataset.

Sixteen feature classes in a single FDS is quite a few. Are these really all edited together or are you using the FDS as a folder mechanism? If it's the latter, you could remove the singleton feature class from the FDS, and just grant privileges for the edit user.
