nodeaccess

I need a way for one or two super users to grant access to nodes on a per user basis. I have tried nodeaccess but I don't get a list of which users have access to which nodes which is very important. And in order to grant access I need to type in a user's name. In the node edit, I would like a list of user names in the system with a checkbox for access. With nodeaccess I can't see how to remove access for a user, I only see a way to grant it. I don't want to grant accesss by role, that would mean making a new role for every new user.

I have the need for a site where I can define access to individual nodes by user. In this scenario, access by permission or roles is not finite enough. Node_Access has this ability. But when I want to create a view to display the node available to a given user, View's Access setting overrides the permission and roles settings in Node_Access. There is a similar module, Content Access that tries to solve a similar problem.

What is the difference between the table nodeaccess and the table node_access? Do I need both of them?

Has anyone been using the nodeaccess module in production? We've got it setup on our site but I'm having trouble getting grants to take.

I don't see what the pattern is but but after 'granting' a user view & edit permission, there's still no 'View| Edit' link.

I tried clearing the menu and other caches. This happens to be a section of the site that anonymous users are denied 'view.'

I am reporting some findings that I hope will help others who decide to try any access control module currently available to Drupal 5.1 or earlier.

Yet another node access module..

I've put some work into a 5.x nodeaccess module. It could be the superior from the current nodeaccess module, and perhaps also from the simple_access module. I'm waiting for feedback from the authors..

So my module provides extended role based access control per content type, but it can be configured to manage per user access control per node - it does this by integrating with the ACL module, as well as role based per node access control.

Like simple_access it doesn't touch any permissions when it's activated. It also does some performance optimizations and tries to keep the UI simple.
