Bingo! I seek to propose a hook that would essentially allow the role system to become dynamic.-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Ron Parker schrieb:That, essentially, is the modification to user_access that I have created so that my module would work. Briefly, my OG User Roles module is designed to assign role(s) to a user restricted to the OG group he is in. Details on it are here: http://drupal.org/node/87679.IMO you are trying to use the role system for something it wasn't designed for: Dynamically asigned roles. Drupal roles are always static.
Since my modified user_access currently works for list/view/update/delete, the menu system works perfectly. The correct create content links to add the correct node types for a role appear as they should. The problem is when I click on node/add/<node type>?gids[]=<group nid>, the user gets "access denied". user_access returns the correct roles, but there is something else in the node/add process that causes this process to fail. My guess right now is that $user->roles is called somewhere else in the process (outside of where it's called in user_access), and that's causing the failure.What else, besides user_access, does the default node/add mechanism call for permissions checks?Nothing. You probably need to rebuild the user's menu to get your changed permisions to "take".
I understand, and appreciate your response. OG dynamically rebuilds it's menu each time, so the overhead would be the same. And, again, the OG menu uses my modified user_access to build the correct menu according to group role(s).Since rebuilding the menu is a costly operation (in Drupal5) I am not too excited about dynamically assigned roles.
