On the website of our primary school i need moderators to moderate specific categories.

I searched the forums and filed a question on the Drupal-forum but there is no answer out there. Is has been said that it must be possible to achieve this with the modules Modr8 and Taxonomy Access Control but i didn't find a solution. I strongly believe it is possible but id didn't succeed in it until now.

A simplified example:

Moderator A has to moderate category A and is allowed to list and view category A+B but might not moderate B
Moderator B has to moderate category B and is allowed to list and view category A+B but might not moderate A

I was able to restrict messages to the different groups of moderators but then the moderator of the other group were not able to see/list all the nodes any more, which is not the intention. Anyone has to be able to list/see everything but the responsability of the moderator has to sit with different groups.

Any clue would be welcome.

hmm, that's a hard one- I'm just basing this off the ability to view the nodes under the normal access control scheme. It's very difficult under the Drupal API to make a list limited to nodes where the current user has (for example) update as well as view permission.

If you need to have this functionality, you may need to customize the module.

quick brainstorm - a small module with a little creative use of hook_form_alter could change the moderation list such that all items in moderation still appear in the list, but the radio buttons, etc disappear (for example) for a moderator A for all category B nodes.

Allright... i have to study on it because i am a novice user of drupal. It will take some time. I will post my successes :-) here. Any help is still much appreciated.
