Help needed for TAC + ACL + Content Access

Oh perhaps the defaults from Content Access are grants for all, so the thumbs up from that module gives the access even though my TAC is configured to deny.

I think I want Content Access defaults to be neutral if possible for all nodes and rely solely on my TAC permissions and in the case where I want to sell access to a node with uc_node_access then use content_access to grant the permission.

I think that would work with your module. Hmm wonder if I can change the content access defaults to no grant or deny?

Changed titled to reflect that this is a support request and hoping that this module can help me and that all I need to do it learn to use the module properly.

More detail on my configuration and problem. I was originally use the TAC module only with a default grant of global access to all content for all users, select taxonomy term use grants, and also a default deny access for my 'access' taxonomy. My 'access' taxonomy then used particular terms with TAC to grant access access to users with particular roles. This configuration works great.

Now enter the need to use Ubercart to sell access to particular nodes. Our company wants to sell online training courses and so we turned to the uc_node_access module. This modules requires the use of the modules ACL and content_access to accomplish its works. So now the challenge of getting content_access and TAC to work together, and so hoping module_grants can help me.

I am having trouble figuring out how to configure content_access and module_grants to cooperate with my existing TAC configuration. Maybe it is not possible. In brief content_access installs out of the box granting access to all content. This was bad for my TAC 'access' taxonomy permissions. Nodes that were restricted from certain use were now visible to everyone all the time. I messed with the options at admin/settings/module_grants, but couldn't get it to work.

Then I realized that content_access was granting access to all so module_grants could stop that. So I then turned off all grants in the content_access module thinking that the grants from my TAC module would persist if I told the module_grants to "don't care" if content_access perms where unchecked. However, this result in absolutely no content being accessible.

This all accessible or none accessible result seems like I must be mis-using the module. Any help would be greatly appreciated. In summary I want to use the TAC permissions I have be using to be the baseline permission and then use ACL and content_access to grant addition accessibility for nodes purchased using the us_node_access module.

Sincerely, Jeff

I'll check out the monitor and get back to you. Thanks.

Hmmm installed the Module Grants Monitor, cool feature, but it is only telling me more of what I already know. I can only seem to get all or nothing with my configuration. I am doing some trickier stuff with TAC such as default deny access and grant if has a taxonomy term as well as default grants in other cases. Perhaps this is too complicated to simply AND and/or OR with content_access.

Any ideas? Anyone else have success with a goal similar to mine?

I am using TAC for both taxonomy term accessibility and node accessibility. I think if I use TAC for term accessibility only that then it will work. I'll let you know :-)

ok, got it working.

I am using TAC + ACL + Content_Access together, but without Module Grants. I have been using TAC alone but needed to add ACL + Content_Access for uc_node_access. So I quit using TAC for node access permissions, but only for term access permission and use ACL + Content_Access for content permissions and all seems to work well for my use case.

Thanks.

thanks, good day.
