- OVERVIEW
- ========
- The Field Permissions module allows site administrators to set field-level
- permissions for fields that are attached to any kind of entity (such as nodes
- or users).
- Permissions can be set for editing or viewing the field (either in all
- contexts, or only when it is attached to an entity owned by the current user).
- Permissions can also be set for editing the field while creating a new entity.
- Permissions for each field are not created by default. Instead, administrators
- can enable these permissions explicitly for the fields where this feature is
- needed.
- USAGE
- =====
- Once Field Permissions module is installed, you need to edit the field settings
- form to enable permissions for each field where you need this feature. You can
- choose from three options:
- * Public (author and administrators can edit, everyone can view)
- * Private (only author and administrators can edit and view)
- * Custom permissions
- The default value ("Public") does not impose any field-level access control,
- meaning that permissions are inherited from the entity view or edit
- permissions. For example, users who are allowed to view a particular node that
- the field is attached to will also be able to view the field.
- "Private" provides quick and easy access to a commonly used form of field
- access control.
- Finally, if "Custom permissions" is chosen, a standard permissions matrix will
- be revealed allowing you full flexibility to assign the following permissions
- to any role on your site:
- * Create own value for field FIELD
- * Edit own value for field FIELD
- * Edit anyone's value for field FIELD
- * View own value for field FIELD
- * View anyone's value for field FIELD
- These permissions will also be available on the standard permissions page at
- Administer -> People -> Permissions.
- INSTALLATION
- ============
- 1) Copy all contents of this package to your modules directory preserving
- subdirectory structure.
- 2) Go to Administer -> Modules to install module. If the (Drupal core) Field UI
- module is not enabled, do so.
- 3) Review the settings of your fields. You will find a new option labelled
- "Field visibility and permissions" that allows you to control access to the
- field.
- 4) If you chose the setting labelled "Custom permissions", you will be able to
- set this field's permissions for any role on your site directly from the
- field edit form, or later on by going to the Administer -> People ->
- Permissions page.
- 5) Get an overview of the Field Permissions at:
- Administer -> Reports -> Field list -> Permissions
