Unix-like Access Control

Unix-like Access Control

UNIX's traditional permission model is a simple, yet powerful one. This module brings a similar permission model to Drupal nodes.

Note: Currently (January 2012), the code is seeing a rewrite to use ACL to provide group handling. Install at your own risks.

Under UNIX, files and directories are owned by one user and one group. Permissions on the file or directory can be granted for the user, the group, or everyone else.

This module brings the following concepts to Drupal:
- nodes belong to a user (author) and a group (from ACL)
- permissions can be granted per-node for the user, the group, and everyone else

Advantages

- simple and flexible
- maximizes usage of Drupal core concepts
- allows creation of lightweight groups of users and content

Note :

This module uses the node access system and using it along other node access modules may lead to unexpected results unless you know exactly what you're doing.
