This module provides granular permissions to control editing access for specific node base fields like creation date, publish status, and author. It allows for more fine-grained control over content management beyond the general "Administer Nodes" permission, especially useful for bulk operations.
INTRODUCTION
The Granular Node Permissions module creates separate permissions for editing the following base fields on all nodes:
created(Authored on)promote(Promoted to front page)status(Published)sticky(Sticky at top of lists)uid(Authored by)
The core Node module provides the single permission administer nodes (Administer content). Among other things, it gives a user permission to edit all five of these fields on any node.
Bulk operations
After SA-CORE-2025-002 is fixed, users need additional permissions in order to update these fields using bulk operations. Either the core administer nodes permission ("Administer content") or the permissions from this module will work with bulk operations.
REQUIREMENTS
This module depends on the core node (Node) module.
