Hi, new drupal user and first post, not sure if it's the right place, or even how to word the subject line... anyhow:

I'm trying to set up a friends and family site and would like to have each user have control of their own groups (I'm thinking the Buddy List module) and control who can see any content they produce.

What I'd like to to do is author content and allow tagging within the content (potentially via a user/group dropdown in tinymce) to explicity restrict access to a particular user/group.
Without actually knowing how the input filters work, I figured that if they are applied at display time I could easily filter out the tagged up piece of text as any given user tries to look at the node.

Basically, when I'm writing something I'd like to let it flow and then decide which bits I don't want my parents or whoever read by tagging up afterwards.

What I'm wondering is if this is actually the right way to do this, or if some stuff already exists that I just haven't clicked onto yet.

I think this is what you want:

Might also suit your needs (your description is general enough that you'll have to sort out which access control module is best suited to your working style)

The access control in organic groups and taxonomy access are mutually exclusive.

Thanks, I'll look into all three of those. Sounds like they will do at least some of what I want.

I think I need to understand how some of the pieces fit together a bit more. I get the feeling that all three suggested modules will control access to a whole node (page/article in my case) but I still need to do some work to control access to a segment of the node?
