Hi everybody

I have e news editor role, and i want to allow the users that belong to that role, to edit only the news, but not the other content of the site?

the only way that I find to allow a role to edit any content is giving the "administer nodes" privilege, but doing that, the user can edit then any node type.

There are any way to do what i want?

I'm sorry for my english, it is not good enough....

The first question is, what do you define as the news? Story nodes? Page nodes?

You might start by looking at the taxonomy access module. With it you can use categories and roles together to control access. So you could have a category "news" and allow news editors to edit nodes with this category.

OK I have successfully installed the Taxonomy access module, but it seems to do nothing... I give the permision to each role but when the news editor try to edit a news node, I get the access denied message.

However even if the news editor have access to edit the news nodes I want to get the option of "content" in the navigation menu... like when I give the privilege of administer nodes but only for the news nodes. it´s that posible?
