I would like to limit access to one of the many 'books' we have to a particular Role. What is the best option for doing this. I have downloaded Content_Access and ACL modules, enabled Content_Access, but cannot seem to see any controls anywhere to instruct Drupal to limit access to a specific Role to one specific Book. I assumed Control_Access would function much like the Forum_Access, but it has so far alluded me.
Am I missing something obvious here? Or is there a different module that I should be looking at?
Thanks

have you tried nodeaccess
This looks like it may do what you require. nodeaccess.
Or TAC_Lite
The TAC_Lite module restricts access based on a taxonomy tag you apply to the page.
Warning: be very careful if you remove any access control modules. If it is not done properly you could lose the whole site.

Thanks
Thanks for the warning. Luckily this intranet is still in development so I could dump the database and start over fairly easily... I did remove the Access Control module (by disabling the module), logged out and back in and all still seems fine. I hope that is the proper way, its the only way I know to remove a module. Though I guess I also have to delete it from the my /sites/all/modules/ directory yet...
One quick test
One quick test is to access your new site as an anonymous user. Largely the first sign of a badly removed access control module is that you won't be able to do that.

Seem to be having the same issue with nodeaccess
Interesting... at least with nodeaccess there were some docs and a test page so I could see the control(s) I should have... Unfortunately, I am having the same problem. I am not getting any 'grant' tabs for content. The role I belong to has been granted access to nodeaccess, and I even logged in as the first admin user... still no sort of node specific access controls to be found anywhere.
I am using the LDAP Integration module with LDAP Groups configured to map our existing Active Directory security groups to the Drupal site. That works wonderfully. But I am starting to wonder if there is a conflict somewhere between these modules??
Try the project page
Post a support request on the project page and ask the developers.
