As opposed to this issue; http://drupal.org/node/27199, I can't get the view options to work. I can give roles edit permissions, but I cannot restrict viewing.

I am running 4.6.2 on a Linux box. I am also running Taxonomy access if that matters.

As a followup I tested new content and previously published content and no matter whether view was checked or not made no difference.

I also made sure that the module was enabled on the settings page.

I think this might have something to do with the taxonomy-access module. First I might not have properly patch taxonomy.module (part of taxonomy access). I reapplied the patch and cleared the database tables:

node access
term access
term access default

If you are having trouble getting this module to work, make sure that you don't have a row in node access that has a realm of 'all'. I found that I still had that row which defeats all the more granular access settings.

I may permanently disable taxonomy.module and only use this one. If someone can tell me if they can work together (or should), I would appreciate it.

Still waiting to find out if the is a conflict between Taxonomy_access and node_privacy_byrole. If someone could comment on this, I would be very thankful.

I'm getting weird behaviour with privacy_byrole and taxonomy_access too.

I wouldn't be at all suprise if they were conflicting - though the effects are quite subtle!

I would also welcome any insights.

taxonomy_access generates spectacularly broken behaviour. I recommend against using it. For a while, it was randomly giving edit/delete permissions to anonymous users to random nodes (with absolutely identical entries in node_access that I checked by hand).

This is almost certainly a taxonomy_access bug, not a node_privacy_byrole bug.

The module is working fine now. I have also disabled the taxonomy_access module. Site has been stable for a couple of weeks now.

thanks.
