Hi,

I've installed and am administering a drupal 4.7.x site for my research group. Somehow when I login as a user then I'm able to create content (page, book, wiki page etc.) but once created I don't know where this content goes and i'm unable to access it. Only when I login as admin I can use the administer link to access the content and then manually link it to some page. How can I configure Drupal so that users can access their own created content and grant them access control on it ?

Thanks
ARN

If you goto admin->access control you can configure various permissions for accessing content in there.

You will probably want to give anonymous and authenticated users access to node->access content (i think this is the wording) - and then add the various edit permissions to authenticated users. It is worth noting that some node types expose their own "edit" permissions - i think the blog module does this and you will need to assign the "edit own blog" permission to authenticated users too.

Good luck,

Mike,

If I understand the question correctly, you are not only having an issue with access control, but also with managing pages that link to your content. There are a number of ways to handle that.

Blogs generate their own aggregate overview at /blog.
Book pages link to one another in a way that you control when you create the content; somewhere you'll need to link to the root page of the book.
Plain pages (sometimes called "static") and story pages have no overview.

In all cases, the taxonomy system can be used to create lists of items by term.

If you want to do something fancier, investigate the Views module.

In addition, of course, the default behavior is to promote new items to the homepage, which you can override.
