Issue Summary

hi everyone

I have added the possibility to assign a section to a role.

So you can for example create a role named author and assign them a menu section so that every member can edit the sections content.

What do you think about it?

I wonder if it can be done as a separate module. But the feature seems reasonable. May take a while to review, though.

Have you had some time to take a look?
How can it be done in a seperate module?
It changes some of the main behaviours of the module.

I have not.

A separate module would probably use hook_user() to add additional sections to the user account.

I think that would actually be a very important feature for that module. Currently Menu Node Edit is the best and simplest module for doing menu section access control, which is very useful in a website which is updated by many different people. Role support would definitely be the killer feature for us. It would be great if this could be reviewed and committed.

Have you tested the patch?

Yes, I have and we are currently using it and it seems to work as described. Thank you very much for doing that, I really hope that it will be committed to this module. As it stands this is the only module out there which offers simple hierarchical access control by menu structure. I am surprised it doesn't receive more attention.

Thanks.

Don't suppose anyone wants to co-maintain this?

I've successfully used
http://drupal.org/project/administerusersbyrole
http://drupal.org/project/role_delegation
together with menu node edit to control access to content by selected groups.

Are you familiar with these modules? Will the new patch obviate the need for any of them?
