Greetings Drupaltonians,
I'm a little new at any content management software so please forgive my ignorance in advance. I just installed a copy of Drupal 6.14 to create a demo. I seem to have gotten off to a good start in customizing the framework and flow of the site and figuring out where to place what.
I am having some slight hangups on what I want to happen though. In Drupal, am I able to create (under the admin account) a user (who is an admin with lesser permissions) and give them unrestricted access to a set number of pages? For example, if I want to create a section of the site for the Fire Department, can I create a FireAdmin, and give them unrestricted editing access to any pages that the main admin sets up designated as part of the Fire Department? How do I define this criteria?
Also how does Drupal work with sub-domains? Any help at this point is greatly appreciated.
Warmest regards,
- JoshInWV (and YES I have all of my teeth...) ;)

At admin/user/permissions,
At admin/user/permissions, you can get a good idea of what kinds of permissions Drupal can grant/withhold via the core modules. It sounds like what you want to do will need a little help, though. I would suggest looking at the Organics Group module (http://drupal.org/project/og) or the Content Access module (http://drupal.org/project/content_access), but there are many modules out there that manage access.
You'll need to be more specific about the subdomains question. What exactly do you want Drupal to do with them?
I want drupal to serve to say
I want drupal to serve to say fire.citygovt.gov and serve the fire departments section, and so on and so forth. Is that even possible? I mean not a big deal if it is, but it might keep things nice and smooth in the domain world. OR is this more of a domain configuration issue? When the subdomain is hit, forward them to the appropriate drupal page?
Sorry it's been so long and the topic grew cold, I'm in and out with Java projects and everything else on my plate here.
Warmest Regards,
- Josh
