The Protected Node module adds permissions to define who can use the password feature.

Permissions\Cases No access at all to the resource Need to enter the password to see the resource Can view resource without password, need to enter the password to edit the
resource
Bypass completely the protection (can edit and view without password) Edit node passwords
Access protected node password form   1 1    
View protected content (bypass password)     1    
Edit protected content (bypass password)       1  
Edit content type password         1

In addition to these permissions, there are:

  • Access protected node overview page
  • Edit any protected node password

    Same as Edit content type password

The module also uses the normal node permissions to determine if a user can edit or delete nodes. For example, the "edit own story content" permission determines if a user can edit story content. If not, going to a node/#/edit for a password protected story node immediately returns an "Access Denied" error.
