Nevermind!

Sorry for the spam. It never fails, spend 3 hours on a problem and the moment you ask you find the answer. The problem was not with Taxonomy Access at all. Drupal 5 has a new permissions "edit page content" and if it is activated it supersedes whatever Taxonomy Access says and allows the person to edit all pages regardless. It looks like if I just remove this setting then everything works correctly. The Student role cannot edit pages set to Teacher but they can still edit pages set to Student.

I just didn't realize how the two access modules played together.

Thanks.

Hello,

My Taxonomy Access permissions are not working right. The problem is somewhat like this:

Imagine I have user roles Teacher and Student. I have a category (taxonomy module) called "Edit" with terms Teacher and Student. The permissions say that if Edit=Teacher then a Student cannot edit that page. The problem is that even when a page is set to Edit=Teacher a Student can edit. Note however that an anonymous user cannot edit the page.

I reality the roles in question are different, but it's easier to explain if I call them Teacher and Student.

Anyways, the permissions broke in the move to Drupal 5. I just checked the old Drupal 4.7 site and on *that* site the permissions work. I checked the permissions on Drupal 5 and they look fine:

1. I go to admin/user/taxonomy_access
2. I select "edit" on the "Student" role.
3. I go to the "Edit" category (taxonomy).
4. On the row "Teacher" (this is the category term) under "Update" it is

set to "Deny".

That should be everything, right? I don't understand why it doesn't work. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Daniel.
