Is there a module to specify access rules for specific nodes or specific pages?

Question

Is there a Drupal module to specify access rules for specific nodes ?

I don't need to specify them for a generic content type, but for a specific node (nid).

Also I would like to specify permissions on a specific page (let's say a view).

thanks

Answer 1

Views has access control built in, you can set permissions for a view from inside the Views UI. When you edit a view there is a setting "Access" where you can set a role or permission that is required to access the view.

"Content Access" has an option for node-specific access, but I never used that part of the module myself (I previously wrote Module Grants, but that functionality came from Content Access).

Other options are Taxonomy Access or TAC lite that apply permissions based on taxonomy.

Answer 2

The Content Access module allows you to specify access control per node by role, breaking it down to a granular edit, view or delete permission by role.

Views allows a permission to be set by role under the 'access' option in basic settings. You can therefore set by display giving you quite rich control over what visitors have access to by role.

I've also used Nodeaccess which may be worth looking at. I believe this allows delegation of deciding which roles may edit, delete or update a node to the node author rather than the administrator.
