Hi,
I think the title of the post indicates what I'm looking for. I'm a newbie to Drupal and so far I've been nothing but pleased by it. However, my website (http://www.scoutsdrongen.be) urgently needs a user system, and I'm not sure how to go about it.
I've been reading quite some posts about this problem, but most of them refer to "future work" or "work in progress". However, many of these posts date back to 2004, so I'm not sure what the current possibilities are to approach the problem.
From what I've read, I've concluded that there are two possible approaches: one from a taxonomy-angle, and one from a users-angle. I've been trying out some of the contributed modules that extend the taxonomy and user control possibilities, but so far I have not been able to find a solution.
What I need is the following:
- visitors, without an account, should be able to see the Welcome, Search, Contact, ... pages
- regular users, with an account, should be able to see the public part of the website plus the part of the website meant for their particular "usergroup", and should be able to post on forums, download images, ...
- content-creating users, which should be able to create content in a certain part of the website, for a certain kind of regular users
- admins and junior admins that can control all of the content, and most of the administration functions
Small example: there 's an A and a B section on the site. The A-creator kan see and create content in section A. The A-user can only see content in section A. User "admin" can see and create content in sections A and B.
