Deep link

Sometimes you want to be able to give simple URL access to content that would not normally be available to a particular user (or perhaps someone not even registered with the site).

Deep link module allows the direct access to a specific item of content under certain circumstances and limitations. Such as one-off or time-limited deeplinks.

The deeplink module provides a framework for generating special URLs which can be inserted into emails that allow access to a content item or page, and tracks the uses of that link.

The controls that go with deeplink provide the means by which users are selected, one allows selection by user - so only users will receive the deeplink and only those users will be able to use it; and by email: this allows you to enter a set of email addresses that will be sent the deeplink URL. Obviously this one is more limited in that unregistered users can look at the content.

Other controls, for example to select by role, could be built.
