This guide has not yet been reviewed by Contributed modules for Drupal 7 maintainer(s) and added to the menu.

The Content Access module let you content manage access permission in a flexible and transparant way.

It provides two new permissions: view all (allows anyone to view the content) and view own (allows only the content creator to see his/her own content). It also gives access to the existing core permissions edit and delete on the same settings page.

Use cases examples:

  • Create a private content type (e.g. invoice) for internal company staff.
  • Editorial work flow, where one can create a content, and another editor can edit this content.
  • Tracker-like system, where the user who created a ticket can only access his own ticket.

Do you have a use case example to share with us? We will be happy to publish it here!
