Allow Author Exceptions

It would be excellent to be able to disallow access except for the user who created the content.

For instance, if you have a "private_journal" content type you might logically allow registered users "create" but not "view." However, it become so private that writers cannot read their own journals.

I think execution of this features might make sense in any of several ways: a fourth "view" radio button, an extra permission column, or an override checkbox on the "permissions for role" page.

A great module; it brings granular access to a much higher level than plain Drupal. Thanks for your consideration.
