My understanding was that by installing this module I could overcome the problem of the Content management -> content -> list not showing for users with roles granted permission only to edit / delete their own content and to whom Administer Nodes permission was not granted.

I installed the module and configured access control for the Content Types but I see no difference in how things work. If I do not grant the role Administer Nodes permission, the Content Management -> content -> list menu item is not available and the only way users with that role can edit their own page is by navigating to it with the menu system or by going to it directly with the page URL.

Am I doing something wrong or is it completely impossible to display a list of content to users who have permission to edit / delete their own pages but who do not have Administer Nodes permission? If I grant Administer Nodes permission to these roles, they then can edit ANY pages regardless of Author just as if the Content Access module was not installed.

Maybe I am missing something here but I don't see any difference at all in the way things work with or without this module installed and activated.

I would really appreciate any assistance I can get.

Thanks . . . Mike

Unfortunately Content Access can't do such thing, as the menu items is handled by menu system in Drupal's core. What you can do is by using Views, you can display a list of content (with link's target to the edit page of the node), and only give access (in Views setting there is an access option) to the Role(s) you want.

Content Access doesn't change the way you see your content or list contents, it just change the permissions.
