Intranet setup help

dovry - April 2, 2007 - 13:05

I'd like to use drupal for our intranet.

That means no access to unathorized users.

In addition, I'd like to have several sections with posts, blogs, forums for several different user groups with access granted only to that group.

Is this possible?

From glancing at the admin section, it looks like access control only apply to modules and related tasks, and not to different sections or modules assigned to sections.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Taxonomy Access Control

You need to get a hold of additional modules to make this happen. Check out:

Thanks a lot! :-)

I've been looking at the taxonomy access modules before, and it seemed a bit like a hack to add access control to categories/taxonomies, so I was concerned that Drupal does not support this kind of setup 'out of the box'.

On the other hand, it looks like taxonomy access also allows access control to sections/forums in addition to categories, so I think it will suit my needs. (Why is this functionality not included in the main access control section?)
