Not using any contributed permission modules.
Installed module. Rebuilt permissions.
Created realm and assigned content type.
All points of access are open: anon, auth user, etc.

danielb commentedBy design, at least one user must be granted access via password for the node access to kick in. There is no real way to 'deny' anybody access, I can only grant it, and once some access is granted, Drupal will deny everyone without it.
Normally I would use this module as an additional module to TAC lite or Nodeaccess, not by itself.
Comment #2
Setzler commentedWhat if it automatically granted access to the node author? That way it would be secure until access is granted to any other users.
Side note: I really appreciate this module. A client is asking for this functionality exactly.
Comment #3
Setzler commentedOr, as I see how you assign the password to the profile, it would have to insert the password into the author's profile on insert. Shouldn't be hard to do; would you like me to make a patch?
Comment #4
danielb commentedHmm if you do that it would be good if there was a configuration option whether to do that.

danielb commentedI really don't think is necessary, and I won't be implementing it unless someone provides a patch that configurably enabled this feature. Please use another module such as http://www.drupal.org/project/nodeaccess to assign access to the potential authors or some group of users - this will deny access to everyone else. Then you use node access password on top of that to give access to extra people.

danielb commentedI've decided to add a feature to add automatic access to node authors.
