Workbench Access

This screencast includes the following topics:

  • Workbench access creates hiearchical access control to editing and deletion of content
  • Access cascades down through the tree structure!
  • How to select vocabularies to use for access control
  • How to include/exclude individual terms in the vocabulary
  • How to add editing/deletion access to roles (which requires the Allow all members of this role to be assigned to Workbench Access sections permission)
  • How to grant editing/deletion access to individual users
  • How to set the access section on each node
  • That you can use menus trees instead of taxonomy trees for controlling access
  • That the access control is pluggable, so it is possible to provide other tree structures as well
  • How to use Rules to check access settings, and also set access settings (which currently should be done on the presave event)
