Security by content type or other solution

Posted by Lanny on December 11, 2006 at 4:53pm

I read so much my head is in a spin but couldn't find the solution. I desperatly need to solve this:

I wish to have all strories accessable to unauthenticated visitors. I need the rest of the content to be for authenticated users only. For posting "internal" stories, I have a content type memo.

I also would like to stop the drupal search from searching the unauthorized portion of the content.

You could try the node_privacy_byrole module

That lets you set default permission for all roles on all your content types. But you can still change the permissions on individual nodes if you want.

Thanks a million, running to try it. ... well I did and this is the first comment

It seems node_privacy_byrole and organic groups modules do not work together anymore. In 4.5 they were compatible and quite complimentary.

node specific access control

Posted by styro on December 11, 2006 at 9:29pm

only came in with 4.5 and it was (as I understand it) always only a one module at a time deal.

I guess that the original groups module which organic groups evolved out of didn't use the node_access stuff in 4.5 and that was why they could've coexisted.

The node access arbitrator module was designed for 4.7 to provide an API for multiple access modules to work together. I think (but not sure) a core part of that module has been rolled into Drupal 5 - and most future node access modules will coexist better in the future.
