Add views bulk operations action to update access status of lots of nodes in bulk

Thoughts on this for version 6? I looked into VBO but did not see anything.

You need a different module such as this http://drupal.org/project/tac_lite

Same issue - I'd like to be able to restrict access to individual users, and I'm not even using Taxonomy on this site (a homebrewed project management application with client-specific tickets and the like). The combination of 'Content Access' and 'ACL' works perfectly for this - until I need to change the user which has access, or grant a second user access. With a configurable action and VBO this would be a matter of a few clicks, but without it, the whole application becomes unmanageable after a while.

I simply can not believe that there is no way to bulk edit ACL or individual access grants, especiallially since this module is so tighly integrated with Rules and has such a large user base. I'm posting in the hope that we have overlooked something - if not, I'd suggest to close this issue as "won't fix".

Thanks!

Hi,

do you want individual settings per user or per role?

You can easily update lots of nodes using Node Convert (http://drupal.org/project/node_convert).

Just convert nodes to destination content typ and ACL will be set to dest. typ. You can create tempalte and use it with Views Bulk Operarions (VBO).

Node Convert for bulk editing access permissions? I don't think that I like this idea.

Since there seems to be no VBO integration for Content Access/ACL, we moved to 'Taxonomy Access Control Lite' as suggested in #4. It's not as comfortable as CA/ACL, but it seems to work smoothly, and it can be updated very flexibly by bulk updating terms with VBO.

Why not using the Rules integration?

This definitely should be a feature of this module.

A views_bulk_operations action would suffice.

Or does the post in #8 mean to:
Set up a rule, then use the rules - views_bulk_operations integration to have views bulk operations trigger the rule.
