Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.The documentation states:
it respects and makes use of drupal's built in permissions as far as possible. Which means the access control settings provided by this module takes them into account and provides you a good overview (on just one screen!) about the really applied access control settings for a content type or content node.
It is very nice that ticks appear to show what access rights have been granted elsewhere (generally on the permissions page) but what happens if the tick is removed? Does this remove the permission? I think I am right in saying that removing a tick from a View box will remove the right to view, but removing the tick from an edit or delete box will not remove that right? Is this correct. If so, the ticks representing permissions that cannot me removed because they have been granted elsewhere should be fixed and not be removable otherwise users will think they have done something that they have not.

fago>should be fixed and not be removable
ticks which stem from elsewhere are disabled and so can't be changed.

davidteall CreditAttribution: davidteall commentedThat's what I was asking for - but it is not what is happening. I have tried changing the permissions granted elsewhere and the changes are correctly reflected in the tick boxes. However, the ticks are not disabled.

fagoWhich browser are you using? Can you check the html code whether the checkbox contains disabled="disabled" ?
Comment #4
davidteall CreditAttribution: davidteall commentedI am using Firefox 3.0.4
I have attached a txt file of the page source. I can't see any reference to 'disabled'
On the test site where I am running D6 there is a Role 'Administer' that has 'administer nodes' permission. This is not reflected in the check boxes. The individual permission for authenticated users to edit pages is correctly reflected, but the tick is not disabled.

fagoHm, are you using the latest module, beta1 or later? Please try upgrading to the beta1 or the current dev snapshot. For me this is working fine.
Comment #6
fagoah, they boxes are currently only disabled if access content is missing. I've just added support for fixing checkboxes of roles with "administer nodes" permission to be enabled. Else the permissions should be reflected right.
