@Shai & @Carl thank you for your help. <div><br></div><div>I have noticed that Drupal has trouble with this, as well as the book module. (It seems that no module developers use the book module.) In researching some of these answers I ran into this very helpful discussion <a href="http://groups.drupal.org/node/16134">http://groups.drupal.org/node/16134</a>. Looks like I need to work with @Gribnif to get monster menus up or try some book module concoction, all of which promise to be painful. Thank you for your help.<br>

<div><br></div><div>That said, the old adage, "you can do anything with Drupal" applies here as well. And of course, there are a million good reasons to use Drupal even if hierarchical ordering of content is not Drupal's forte.</div>

</ol><div>Content Access helps with #2. As for #1, using Drupal's built-in taxonomy together with a helper module or two or three could get you what you need. For example, Taxonomy Menu might be your friend: <a href="http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_menu" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_menu" target="_blank">http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_menu</a>.</div>

I have what I think must be a common permissions question, but I can't seem to find the answer. I want to set my Drupal site up in a tree structure. 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?<br>
