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

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.
|

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.
|
| 26 |

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.
