Content Access is the most common module (which can use ACL optionally for user based access). It's hard to keep track of them all. There's a ton of different solutions:

Thanks for your great contributions to the community Jamie.

I defer to your far greater experience.

Sorry if I'm mistaken, but I thought - some years after my last foray into this particular issue - that it was built in. 

Perhaps it's the ACL module which is providing that functionality on my site/s? I honestly can't remember what I did, but it was dead simple at the time.

Best regards,

Jeff

Drupal doesn't offer role based access to content by type out of the box. It just has a catch all "view published content" permission. The only granular control it gives to roles on a content type basis is for create, edit and update.

To control the view access by content type, you do need a 3rd party module, of which there are numerous.

This is a standard feature of Drupal:

No 3rd party modules required...

(I think this is the simplest and most elegant solution because users without access to particular content can't even see menu items created for those Content-types.)

Hi,
 
    We are wanting to build a new website using Drupal. This will be an online website accessed through subscription to varying levels of membership. We are looking to find out if Drupal has a module or the capability to control accessbility of content to different subscribers based on the membership level they purchase.
 
For example, a customer purchases our Bronze Membership. They can only access content on our Drupal site that we have created for Bronze Members.
 
Does Drupal have the capability to differentiate our customers based on membership level and control our content release accordingly?
 
And where possible we would like to link this in with InfusionSoft API module.
 
Regards,
