I need to have 3 types of users on a site:

Anonymous -- can only view certain nodes
Member -- can view all nodes as well as post comments on them
Admin -- basically a site admin, can do anything

How can i implement this? How can i get finer grade permmissions for users?

Go to Administrator->Access controls

Anonymous and authenticated user are 2 roles that are present by default. You will want to create a new 'admin' role. You can easily tweak their settings to your need.

You can change the default types directly in the database(Mysql). The table name is role - where you find the roles in the database. So edit directly in the database.Then the changes reflect automatically.

Sometiem back i did it for a custom installation and i ahven't seen any errors.

Fell free to contact me.
