NodeAccess Module
=================

[](#nodeaccess-module)

This module allows you to manage permissions for nodes/content by role and user. In other words, it implements per node access control for users and groups. With this module, you can restrict access to any individual node without having to use taxonomies. You can assign permission to view, edit or delete each individual piece of content by user or role. Once enabled, a 'grant' tab will appear on edit pages for each piece of content. You can click this and assign permissions for that node/piece of content.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Put the module in your Backdrop modules directory and enable it in admin/modules.

I would strongly recommend backing up your database before installing this module.

IMPORTANT!

Once you check the enable box and submit the page, no nodes will be accessible to anyone other than the admin user. You just set permissions on the nodeaccess settings page (admin/settings/nodeaccess) to enable access to your site.

The settings page has a section for roles, and then a section for every node type you have on your site.
