You may also have luck using the book module in conjunction with the organic groups module.

I want to grant create/edit/delete permissions by selecting one or more nodes in the tree and granting a role the ability to edit those nodes as well as any child nodes.  A simplified example would be a site with two primary sections and each primary section has two subsections.  I want to be able to give rights to the primary section, which would include rights to the relevant subsection.  However, I also want to be able to grant rights just to a particular subsection.  How can I do this?
