Hello,

I installed path_access. At first all was working well. When I changed a role's restricted nodes, the impact was bad. Randomly various nodes are not visible, instead showing the message "You are not authorized to access this page". I stripped out all nodes in the path access admin area, so all pages should be visible, and I then uninstalled path_access, role_weights, and path. Still there are random pages across the site that are restricted. Is there a fix for this? Or, can someone please explain how to roll back? How might this module be blocking these pages? I don't know what to change in the database to roll this back, so, any assistance at all will be a huge help. Thank you!

The path_access module does no random node level access control, so what you are experiencing is highly likely nothing to do with path_access at all!

It sounds like something related to the likes of Taxonomy Access or similar node access control modules.

Path_Access simply works on paths, and as soon as the module is disabled security is removed.

Thanks for the message. It seems by all factors it must have been impacted by the installing module path_access, since there were no other changes made between installation and this problem arising. Thanks for the leads. I will root around and see what I can find.

For other users searching on the same issues...

I replaced node_access in the database with a clean table and it is fixed. Am thinking this was somehow impacted by node_privacy_byrole, but not sure. In anycase, the clean node_access worked.

Thanks for the advice.

if you now re-install role weightsand path_access you should find everything works as expected :-)

glad you got your problem sorted.
