Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Take the following menu structure:
-research
---pure
-----seminars
-----people
---applied
-----seminars
-----people
research, pure and applied are defined as sections. If I assign a user to the research section, they are able to edit content within pure and applied, even if they're not assigned to those sections.
Is it possible to stop the permissions cascading through subsections?

agentrickardTheoretically, yes. But that would require a much more complex management interface when you create a section, and goes against the current design.

gmclelland commentedCould you simply add a checkbox under the "Menu node edit section" that say's "Don't cascade permissions" when you edit the menu item from Site Building->Menus?
I'm trying to find a way to limit exactly where a user can place a menu item, any other suggestions in addition to the menu_node_edit module?
Thank you for making this module.

agentrickardBut cascading permissions is the whole point to the module.
The poorly named Menu Access module (which I do not recommend) tries to restrict where items can be placed.
MNE restricts where items can be placed for users without proper permissions.
