Collaborative editing: restrict access to particular groups of users
Hi there,
My organization's technology division has been looking for some time for a CMS to run the department's intranet. We tried a few open source products, but have recently installed Drupal. We love it, and the response from our bosses has been quite positive.
One of the requirements for our Intranet is collaborative editing of documents and web pages. However, the access to edit, and even to view should be limited on a case by case basis. Press releases, for example, may contain confidential information, and should only be seen and edited by those who are working on it. Another example might be corporate policy documents, that should be readable by everyone, but only editable by senior management.
Drupal Books seem to offer multi-user editing of content, but the access choices, as far as I can tell, are "I can only edit my own" or "everyone can edit everything".
After searching the forums, I see a lot of discussion around what I want to do, but I'm confused by some of the terms that get thrown around, and the varying definitions of book, wiki, etc.
So I'm writing to you. What are my options?
Thanks,
Al3
No ideas?
No ideas at all? I think I'll give the Simple Access module a try. It seems to offer editing based on each individual page.
Taxonomy Access Control Lite
I have a similar requirement and I am trying out thte Taxonomy Access Control Lite module.

From their write-up:
* Grant permissions based on roles.
* Grant permissions per user. (Give a specific user access in addition to what his/her roles allow).
Hope it helps
