@antgiant,<div><br></div><div>First a note that hierarchical ordering of content doesn't come naturally to Drupal.

<div><br></div><div>In terms of modules to give you fine grain over access, there are many modules, but I like the Content Access module a lot:</div><div><a href="http://drupal.org/project/content_access">http://drupal.org/project/content_access</a></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">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>
