Our main need is to control content for various users. We have customers, employees and other types of users that should be allowed to see certain types of content. For example, an anonymous user would see a limited set of books, menus and pages (hopefully I'm stating that correctly). A customer would see what the anonymous user can see plus others, and the employees would see both of those plus others. This is actually the main reason I'm looking away from Joomla, but I can't seem to pin it down in my Drupal research. I believe what I want in the short term is menu and book access control, but I'm not sure if there aren't other things that should be a part of it.

I've looked at book_access, but the author says not to use it, book page access, not sure if this will help me with entire books, and have just started to look at taxonomy access, but I'm not even sure how to use taxonomy yet. Anyone want to take a stab at helping a newbie?

Cheers,
David

Thanks for you reply, Vincent. I tried that one, but it doesn't have any way to control access to content outside of by type; ie, it controls access to the book module, but not to specific books. In my mind the module should be renamed content_type_access, because that's what it does.
