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.

INSTALLATION

Install as you would normally install a contributed Drupal module.
See: https://www.drupal.org/node/895232 for further information.

CONFIGURATION

Assign permissions as usual. The permissions page for this module is /admin/people/permissions/module/nodepermissions.
