I have the module installed and a separate Taxonomy list of my other 'Authors'. That part I get. What I am not grasping, is now how to 'assign' multiple authors. Example, I have a page I created as the admin but want to have it co-authored by another author. This will work with my permissions set up based on this taxonomy (I am trying to build access to everything based off this taxonomy list - who can edit what, etc.). So how exactly do I assign another author? If I go to this page and select 'edit mode', scroll along to bottom of page there is the 'Authoring information' box. Is there a syntax (format) to include another author? Do I just delete 'admin' and put in the other author? If I delete and replace, how is that multiple authored?
Again, this may be blindingly obvious but I am somewhat of a noob to Drupal but really loving it. I tried just googling this for help but all comes back to this page :(

I guess you should just add a taxonomy field for your author taxonomy in cck for your content type, and mark it as multiple. I guess the Content Taxonomy module will help you in adding a taxonomy field in cck. Then you can assign multiple authors to your node.

Gumbytie: I suspect you have not assigned whatever vocabulary you're using as the "author taxonomy" to the proper content type.

That is of course the easiest way. Just thought of Content Taxonomy as in my case I am using it with the Hierarchical Select module.

Not sure on proper etiquette here. These answers were great and resolved my issue, thank you. Should I mark this as closed under status?
