Hi folks-

Just a simple question, I hope...

Is there a danger in combining two modules for user permissions?

I'm already using "Nodeaccess" to grant permissions on a node-by-node basis. However, I'd also like the ability to wholesale cut access to everyone in "Level 1" role from seeing "level 2" taxonomy.

Any problem using both modules?

In my experience, you can combine multiple modules, but you'll want to test very thoroughly to make sure the behavior is as you expect for each specific combination of privileges. I've found that it helps to view various access control modules as being additive: they can add permissions not granted by other modules, but generally don't revoke other modules' permissions.

Also, I've found the devel module's node access utilities to be extremely helpful in testing and troubleshooting with multiple access control modules.
