Module of the Week
with Martin Anderson-Clutz - @mandclu
Access Policy
Access policy is an incredibly powerful module that allows you to use fields and other attributes to control access to entities. No code required.
With Access Policy you can do things like:
Restrict content to members in a particular group, section or department.
Only allow authors to edit content from 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday.
Restrict content by priority or security level such as secret, confidential, public etc.
Make content private while granting view access to specific users (see screen shot).
Grant access to content by assigning it to individual users.
Soft-delete content with an “Add to trash” checkbox.
Grant access to users with a specific domain name in their email address.
Create gated content with a custom access denied message.
Allow authors to edit all unpublished content except for archived content.
