Hi,

I am new to drupal, and I have the need to permit several users to edit the same article (node). Currently some articles were created by admin, and other users could not modify them. Is it possible to do this withoud giving all user admin permissions?

Regards,
Luis

download and install the module "node_privacy_byrole" : Allows users to specify which roles of users can view his/her content on a node-by-node basis.

Once you activate the module, just make sure the nodes allow editing by a certain role.

You can create a new "role" for your users that you want to edit articles.

1. Go to Administrate > Users > Configure > Roles
2. Add a new role, maybe call it "editors"
3. Then under the Permissions tab on the same page, you will have a new column of permissions, for your "editors". Give them the permission to edit articles.
4. Go and edit each user who should be an editor. (Users > List > edit)
5. Give them the "editor" role along with "authenticated user" with the checkboxes.

Roles are additive, so you just need to have the one permission set with the new "editor" role.

(This help is based on Drupal 4.5.2.)
