Workbench Access creates editorial access controls based on hierarchies. It is an extensible system that supports structures created by other Drupal modules.

When creating and editing content, users will be asked to place the content in an editorial section. Other users within that section or its parents will be able to edit the content.

A user may be granted editorial rights to a section specific to their account or by their assigned role on the site. Content may only be placed in sections that the user has rights to.

Workbench Access requires that users have the ability to create, edit, or delete content as appropriate. Workbench Access does not grant editorial privileges; it merely restricts the content that a user may act on.

Note that the module only controls access to content editing. It does not provide any content filtering of access restrictions for users trying to view that content.

Drupal 9+

Current development is in the 2.0.x branch, and the next release will be 2.0.0 from that branch. 2.0.x adds Drupal 10 support and drops Drupal 8 support. The 2.0.x branch requires PHP 8 or higher.

The stable release is 8.x-1.1 and is compatible with Drupal 8.7.7 - 9.x. However, this release will no longer receive any development or bug fixes, only support for configuration questions. This release should only be used as part of a site upgrade. The 8.x-1.x branch is closed.

Workbench Access can be used in conjunction with the contributed Workbench Moderation or the core Content Moderation module, in core since Drupal 8.2.x. Neither module is required.

Documentation for the Drupal 9 version is best viewed on GitLab.

About Workbench

Workbench is a suite of modules which provide easier content management for content administrators. Each of the "Workbench" modules has been tested to work with the main Workbench module, and with the other modules in the Workbench suite. The Workbench suite is modular, allowing site builders to build the workflow that best suits the content administrators on their site. The Workbench suite provides authors, editors, and publishers with a unified interface for managing content relevant to them. It allows people to focus on content, rather than on learning Drupal.

Workbench Access may be run as a stand-alone module with no dependencies; however, certain features are available only when the Workbench module is also enabled.
