Nodeaccess is a Drupal access control module which provides view, edit and delete access to nodes. Users with the 'grant node permissions' permission will have a grant tab on node pages which allows them to grant access to that node by user or role. Administrators can set default access controls per content type, and also define which roles are available to grant permissions to on the node grants tab.
The upshot is, this module allows you to do things like 'node 123 can be viewed by authenticated users and edited by admin users and joeuser'. As an added bonus, update and delete permissions are separated, so you can make sure users with edit permissions cannot accidentally delete pages.
7.x version
Since the git migration has been pushed back, I've released an alpha of nodeaccess for D7 via CVS. The 7.x-1.x-dev release should be stable enough for initial testing, but should be considered of alpha quality (this is, relatively untested). It runs without errors and *appears* to mostly work. However, feedback and bugs from folks actually running a D7 site are needed. Please test on a copy of your site, no guarantees are made that it won't hose anything.
Nodeaccess 2.0
Once the D7 version is stable and some bugs in v1.3 have been taken care of, I plan to start working on a rewrite. This will, hopefully, get rid of the grants tab and place the edit permissions option in the node edit form. I'd also like to integrate features support and move to a CTools based system. It will also update the UI and make it more user friendly, and I'm toying with the idea of making it more modular so that submodules can plug into the UI and define their own access restrictions. I'm also contemplating changing the name as there has always been a bit of contention about the confusion of nodeaccess and the core node access system (not to mention there is now a node_access module. If you have name ideas feel free to share.
