Is there a module that provides flexible access control per role for different node types?

Something that adds to the access control admin page something like:

access page content
access story content
access wiki content
access someothernodename content

have a look at nodeaccess (http://drupal.org/project/nodeaccess) and simple access (http://drupal.org/project/simple_access). this should get you started.

Node access won't cut the mustard and looks to be "beta" code. Simple Access is not yet 5.0 which is where I need it.

Maybe is time to think in another module for 5.X or to take a littile atention to simple access and node access, the mainteners of this two modules they don't seem to have lot entusiasme to go to 5.0.

i see, drupal 5. that's one of the reasons i have waited to upgrade my sites is it takes a while for the modules to get updated.

although this is probably not the solution you will likely pursue, i'll share it just in case. you could create a custom content type module and assign the permissions you need using hook_access (http://api.drupal.org/api/HEAD/function/hook_access). access could be further restricted by path using hook_menu (http://api.drupal.org/api/HEAD/function/hook_menu). to do this you will need some php knowledge and i suggest reading the handbook (http://drupal.org/node/508).

good luck with your site...
