But one feature I can never seem to locate is although this addresses the viewability of content by persons of certain groups, I want to be able to restrict where someone can post. Primarily, I dont want anyone to be bale to post in an outright public area. Everyone has to post within their group, or at least be forced to post within their group.

It's not that I dont trust my users, but if an option is left in there for someone to view or create items in a public area, it will be done.

Can this be implemented, or am I looking at it all wrong and it already is?

Thanks

Dave

How are you organizing your "areas"? Through taxonomy? Have you looked at the Taxonomy Access module?

You could also use different node-types (either custom modules or Flexinode) and then set access for each of these different node types in admin/access. If you do it this way, then the functionality is already in core.

But Simple Access only manages access to nodes after they are created -- allowing users to edit or delete nodes that they did not create, or only allowing a subgroup of users to view a node.

Good luck!
