I am trying to set up a website that will allow users to see nodes that are available but restrict access to view the body (and/or CCK fields). This way I can set up views to show a directory of "premium content" but restrict access to it unless they have a certain role.
So I am new to the Drupal discussion. What am I wondering is if I can use Drupal as more of a data management system. I set up my own sites, but I would like to use a cms as the back end of my sites. I want to use it to feed data to my sites and use Drupal as sort of the admin section. I don't want the templates and I don't want to change how my pages are made. I merely want to use it, along with php and mysql to generate my site content.
Is this possible? Am I way off? If I am using Drupal must I use their template system for web pages?
