Hi,

Let's say I have pages A, B and C.  I also have users 1, 2 and 3.   I would like for user 1 to only have access to pages A and B, user 2 to only pages B and C, and user 3 to only pages A and C.  Can I implement this today in DG?  If so, how?  Note that My site will obviously have more than 3 pages and, hopefully, I'll have more than 3 users.  As such, I cannot create roles or groups for every page/user access permutations.

 

Thanks!

First, do you understand content types?  If not this will help... http://www.drupalgardens.com/documentation/content/standard-types

It will help if you become familiar with field restrictions http://www.drupalgardens.com/documentation/controlling-field-access-permissions

and Roles and Permissions  http://www.drupalgardens.com/documentation/user-roles-n-permissions

It might be possible to do what you want, but it will get confusing and messy with a large number of permutations.  DG does not really have this functionality yet.  A regular, self hosted Drupal site would.

Thanks jlocke.  Your answer is very helpful.  Hope the DG team can accomodate this functionality in the near future.
