ACL
salvis - October 7, 2006 - 20:54
The ACL module, short for Access Control List, is an API for other modules to create lists of users and give them access to nodes. It has no UI of its own and will not do anything by itself; install this module only if some other module tells you to.
We're aware of the following modules using ACL (let us know if you know of others):
- Content Access (uses ACL to provide by-user access control, if it's installed)
- Forum Access
- Image Gallery Access
Open issues outside of ACL:
- Drupal Core 6 / Views2: A db_rewrite_sql() issue causes DISTINCT queries (frequently used in Views2) to fail, when any node access module is enabled (see #284392: db_rewrite_sql causing issues with DISTINCT and provide feedback).
- Drupal Core 6: Issue (#151910: Support subqueries, db_rewrite_sql broken) makes the Event 6.x-2.x module incompatible with all node access modules (#222128: Event module's use of HAVING is incompatible with db_rewrite_sql()).
Update: proposed fixes have been implemented, please provide feedback over there.
