Quoting Luke drupal@lists.tacticus.com:
I'm thinking that OG might be a way to solve my problem described below (on which I have received no responses), but I ran into the:
No responses because it has to be your decision. OG will allow you to do what you want.
User Profile Node Integrator
module. Might that module be a way to allow a single user to have write access to a node, without having write access to all other nodes?
I don't know about this module but there are other ways to do what you want. If you use OG you can restrict the posts to that group only. If you're only concerned with access then Content Access is what you want. You could even create content types per department, create a role for each department and using content access give a default in the content type for access. Then with the permissions you assign which role has post writes to the different content types. Then you assign the user to the role.
1) Create roles 2) Create content types 3) Assign permissions 4) Assign users to roles
