View Permission Per Node

Introduction

View Permission Per Node (VPPN) is a very simple access control module with relation to viewing content on a per-node basis.

Note: This module only deals with viewing nodes, it does not affect other op's (ie. create/delete/update).

There are a lot of access control modules, many of them are compared here.

This module only implements hook_node_access, so it should play fairly well with other access control modules.

Installation

• Enable as usual,
• Set permissions for users that can use and administer VPPN.

Configuration

• Navigate to admin/config/content/vppn and select the content types,
• Create or edit a node with one of the types selected above,
• There will be a new vertical tab named View Access,
• Select the roles that will have view access to this node.

Notes

• Roles with the bypass node access permission will not be listed,
• Selecting no roles will skip using this module for access control,
• Selecting even one role will enable this module for access control, and deny access to any users without one of the selected roles.
