Hi, this mod does precisely what we need, however most of our users are of only one role. we would like there to be a default value in this module to assign content to the role of the user - and avoid having them click a button, because many of our users are unsophisticated and won't do it.. then we're going to have a lot of content that is owned by a user and not a role.

for users with more than one role allow them to choose a role exclusively from the roles that they are a part of.

are you still looking at this module or developing it? or do you have any other solutions that might work.

Thank you again, this is a great module and a great concept.

I think you can easily use hook_form_alter to change selectbox (when there is only one option) to value type. In this way user won't see the selection. Please advise whether you are still interested in this feature so I will take a look.

Hi ygerasimov,
we ended up kludging node privacy by role + a few rules ot get the job done. it's a bit clumsy as we had to create a rule for each role, however it works well enough... the results of our efforts are here...

role ownership is a really great idea for a lot of sites... it's much more important to us than any individual rights considering it's a fairly dynamic organization - for right now i guess we're pretty satisfied and it looks like you're also involved with draggable vies (another very cool module) so i don't want to distract you.... all said and done though i'm surprised more modules don't incorporate role based ownership in their logic...

Thank you again for everything - anson

I have pushed updated code that as I remember has this feature. Also it has integration with views.

@alibama I would very appreciate if you can test it. Soon 6.x-1.0-beta2 release will be ready.
