For the second part I can use the creatorsName attribute, but I don't know how I can make a deifference between the right to create an entry and the right to modify it.



See OPERATION REQUIREMENTS in slapd.access(5):

    The add operation requires  write  (=w)  privileges  on  the
    pseudo-attribute  entry  of the entry being added, and write
    (=w) privileges on  the  pseudo-attribute  children  of  the
    entry's parent.

    The modify operation requires write (=w) privileges  on  the
    attibutes being modified.



According what you say, the right to add an entry implies the right to modify it and to delete it.
So if every user can create these entries, then every user can delete it.
