Content Access Simple

This module utilizes the functionality of the Content Access module but adds a simpler interface for managing view access of specific nodes. Instead of a lot of checkboxes, content editors are given a simpler list of only the roles who can view the node and it is located on the node edit form itself.

Features

• Simpler interface to control view access to a specific node - for more control over other kinds of access, use the Content Access module settings.
• Changes made via this form will be reflected in the Content Access module settings per node
• Allows to hide roles from the list (config only at the moment, UI coming later)
• Allows to disable roles from being changed (config only at the moment, UI coming later)

The use case for this module would be for a site that already uses the Content Access module and has a content editor role who needs to change view access to nodes. Additionally, this role may not have (or need) the permissions to change Content Access settings or finds the Content Access settings form to be too complex to simply set view.

Post-Installation

1. Visit the Content Access form for a specific content type at /admin/structure/types/manage/{content_type}/access.
2. Enable "Per content node access control settings".
3. A new "Access and Permissions" section will be added to the node edit page for that content type.
4. To move this new section, use "Manage form display".
5. Note there are permissions for this module specifically (Access content access simple) and can be changed under /admin/users/permissions/module/content_access_simple.

Additional Requirements

This module requires Content Access as a dependency.
