I was looking through Drupal.org to find if there is work towards
granulating the permissions table a bit more, by adding a way to limit
administer/access to nodes by type.<br>
The idea (which has certainly been raised before) is to add, next to:<br>
<code><br>
"create TYPE content", </code>- adding new nodes of that content type <br>
<code>"edit own TYPE content",</code> - editing <u>the contents</u> of
own nodes of that content type <br>
<code>"edit TYPE content", </code>- editing <u>the contents</u> of
all nodes of that content type (whether or not the user has right to
create nodes)<br>
<br>
two more possibilities:<br>
<code><br>
"view TYPE content" </code>- roles that are allowed to view the
content type's nodes<br>
<code>"administer TYPE content" </code>- roles that are allowed to
modify the publishing options on all nodes of that content type<br>
<br>
I encounter more and more situations where I want to delegate the
publishing options permission to a specific role, but only to one
content type, otherwise I have to give the person control over the
whole site's content.<br>
<br>
Such a change should be done through core, so actually my questions
are: <br>
Is there any work on this direction / open issue? <br>
Are there already any conclusions?<br>
Should I start writing a patch :-) ?<br>
<br>
