Restrict taxonomy terms

Posted by Thirtysixway on December 13, 2008 at 3:24pm

I'm looking for a solution that will allow me to restrict which taxonomy terms either a user or roll can use.

I've already found the Taxonomy Roles module, this limits the categories but I need it to limit all the way down to individual terms within a category.

Anybody have any solutions or suggestions? Basically we're building RSS feeds from these terms and want to limit which term each user can use so they don't post content into other RSS feeds.

You could use hook_form_alter to remove some of the terms from the taxonomy widget.

I'm looking for a module to do it. We will have some people admining the site who don't do php or code so a module with admin settings is what we need.

edit:

Alltal in the IRC pointed out this module
http://drupal.org/project/tac_lite

seems to do the job incase anyone else is looking.

Taxonomy access versus access taxonomy!

This is an old comment, but it gets high Google rankings so it's worth adding this, I think. The module you suggest does the opposite of what you want:

TAC Lite and other taxonomy access modules control access to content using taxonomy. That means: you add taxonomy terms to a piece of content, and then Drupal decides whether or not a user with a particular role can see the content based on those terms
What you want is to control access to taxonomy using permissions. That means: you configure role permissions to determine whether or not a user with a particular role can see certain taxonomy terms or vocabularies when they're editing content

Here's a post on groups.drupal.org about taxonomy access and access taxonomy. It gives a good side-by-side comparison of some of the options available. To stop certain users seeing certain taxonomy terms, you might want Term Permissions.
