Greetings
We're on a drupal 5 install and we're struggling to find a way to get TAC_Lite and Workflow_Access working together.
Currently, TAC_Lite bypasses the workflow_access restrictions, while we'd like it to operate afterwards and grant refined access thereafter.
Let's say, users have access to workflow states like they would access to a building's floor, but they couldn't enter any room without it's term access grant (which can be accumulated).
In other terms, we'd like to arbitrate priorities between those access modules. Workflow first, then TAC_Lite. No AND, no OR. Any idea on how to achieve this?
BTW, we're working on it, but time's almost up... And we're aware of those topics:
- drupal 4.x #56394: Node_access vc. Node Access Arbitrator (na_arbitrator)
- drupal 6.x #305136: TAC Lite (and TAC) Compatibility with ACL Module [Drupal 6.x]
- or eventually (6.x) #320728: Workflow and TAC Lite - can't edit unpublished node
- Hints would be greatly appreciated!
Great great job anyways (love the ressource-efficient+user-usability care)! Best regards,

Give this patch a +1: http://drupal.org/node/309007, because its goal is to make this sort of thing possible.
It's a simple patch, so you could make the equivalent core patch for Drupal 5, then write your own alter hook to tweak your grants with your custom logic.
Without that patch there's no good way to accomplish this.

Done.
BTW, I think the issue #309007: Add drupal_alter() after hook_node_access_records() your pointing out is a revival of an old drupal concern (since 4.x), as witnesses the old Node Access Arbitrator module from MerlinOfChaos.
I was considering to port na_arbitrator.module's code but actually your current suggestion to rather backport from a more recent development would probably better fufill code sustainability concerns...

any luck with this, I have same situation, I have nodes with two different work flow status, and I need to allow access to the nodes to user who have the same taxonomy term as the node and are allowed to view the current status.
currently the workflow access rules are trumping the tac lite rules.

arbel, You can't revive these old threads with "won't fix" status. read the earlier comments, especially #1.
