Node access

Drupal has some interesting ways to control access for content. I was forced to learn about all of them to be able to implement a custom security widget. Once you know how everything fits into each other it is fun to work with, but it took me more effort than I expected. I bumped into many walls. This is why I like to guide you through this proccess.

I will talk about all the wrong paths I took to get where I had to be. This way I will cover multiple use cases. If you are a developer and want to know more about security, this could be an interesting session for you.

The main topics I will talk about are node_access and node_grants. I also added a custom layer for my project. If you know more about this it could be fun to open a discussion about different implementations.
