Security

Swipht technologies developed a set of security modules with sponsorship from Portland State University. The modules provide roles and user specific security permissions for menus, menu items, nodes, and security integration into the administration and help systems. We would like to provide this suite of modules back to the community to share the usefulness of the suite and involve the community to provide additional support, testing, and moderation.
Special care was taken to ensure the usability of permission management was consistent across all sections of the system (nodes, menus, menu items). Also each security module uses a cascading security scheme to allow global security and the option to override or define exceptions to the security model for individual items.

For example, defining global node access rights by role will dynamically apply the security scheme to all content types and nodes created. However the user can override the global security scheme for an individual content type, and override the permissions for a given content type by setting permissions on an individual node.

Please Note!!

The 6.x version of this module provides default abuse flags for nodes, comments and users and gives an administrative interface for reviewing and resetting said flags.

This module reads the CHANGELOG.txt from different sites. It was created for a blog post I wrote.

This is a node access module which allows fine-grained access to nodes that can be changed during commenting.

By default, Drupal allows only users with the Administer menus and menu items permission to add, modify or delete menu items.

Menu Admin per Menu allows to give roles per menu admin permissions without giving them full admin permission.

For instance, you may let certain users manage the items of the Main or Navigation menus but not those of the Management menu.
