5 Description
6 ===========
7 The path_access module gives site administrators an additional layer of access control
8 to all pages of a Drupal site.

10
11 Benefits
12 ========
13 Although a lot of the Drupal modules provide some degree of access control permissions it
14 never covers all possible requirements users have. Path_access provides the means to
15 restrict pages based on their path alias - meaning you can lock out certain user role
16 groups from whole sections of a site using wildcards.

19 Installation
20 ============
21 Simply copy path_access.module to the modules directory of your Drupal
22 installation, and enable it in the administration tools.
23
24 Note that path_access is an extension to the path module, which must also
25 be enabled.

27
28 Details
29 =======
30 When access is denied to certain users they will see the 403 error 'Access Denied'
31 page which you have defined in the Drupal core settings. This can be changed at ?q=admin/settings
32
33 By default the module will allow both anonymous and authenticated users to access pages as usual.
34
35
36 Settings
37 ========
38 You can configure what pages are visible/not visible to each of your user roles
39 via the 'urls' tab of the 'access control' section of the Drupal Administration.
40
41 Visit ?q=admin/user/pathaccess to edit the settings for each role group.
42
43 Page visibility configuration is carried out in exactly the same way as block
44 visibility in Drupal core.
