Content specific access/access to certain pages by individual users
wittenberg - June 12, 2009 - 18:19
I am creating a school departmental website, and i just want professors of biology to view/edit only the pages in biology. Is there a way or a module that i can use to allow specific users to only access certain pages. I want to restrict users to only view certain pages. is there a way?

There's several ways to do this. Probably the two most common would be with the http://drupal.org/project/og module or Controlling Access to Content by Configuring Groups as Roles . You may also want to investigate some of the individual access control modules (simple_access, content_access, node_privacy_byrole, etc).

groups
I just do not know how to group certain pages together, i have the organic groups module downloaded and ready to go, but have no clue as to how i can actually group the pages together?

Views has pretty good documentation available via the link on the project page-- you'll probably want to start there. But a quick run down would be: set up groups for each of the departments you want to access specific content and add the correct individuals to those groups. Enable the organic groups permission module to control access to group specific content and set the configuration options as desired.
