This project is not covered by Drupal’s security advisory policy.

This module attempts to correct a problem with the creation of book pages. Currently when you create a book page, you are free to add the page where ever you want, with any other book page you want, regardless of access control and other restrictions. With this module, an administrator can define a filter (the current filters are by role, by user, or by Organic Group) and then when a user (other than user 1 who is still free to add pages anywhere) tries to add a page, the list of parent pages is restricted to the filter.

If you have Organic Groups enabled, unless you install this module before any groups are created, you can have quite a lot of work to update the database to reflect the changes. This module automatically creates a top-level book page for every group that is created, and when users try to add pages to their group (using one of the views on the side) they are automatically restricted (assuming you have set the filter appropriately) to creating sub-pages of that new book.

A recent update to this module means that it seems to work properly, although I have not had a chance to test it when using the 'Private' module.
