I've worked in D6 for quite a while, and am just now dipping my toe into D7. I've got the basic installation working on my server and all's well; the only thing I don't understand is whether I should be bothered that admin/reports/status is telling me that Node Access Permissions are disabled. I understand that NAPs are nothing new to D7, and I've had occasion to rebuild the permissions once or twice in the past. But the new admin page calls out the disabled status explicitly, so I'm now wondering about stuff I hadn't wondered about before:

* What does it mean for these to be disabled (I'm logged in as user 1, if that matters)?

* Should I try to reconfigure the system or my server to get them enabled? What would I gain by having them enabled?

Thanks!

I would also like a little bit of light on this...
After hours of fibbling arround i still wonder where to enabled it? I'm not a bright light in programming, but i've been using drupal since 5.x........ and everything is very different....

open your mind open the source
express yourself, share your tools

I got some help on this over at stackoverflow (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4853224/drupal-7-newbie-question-node...) --

"Everything should be perfectly fine.

That only means that you are not using any module that is declaring node permissions so all nodes are visible for users with the view content permission."

Which, I think is consistent with what I learned when I looked into this awhile ago. We might question whether this is the best message to provide on the status report, but that's another matter. I guess.
