News update

Woah, I have been very busy as of late so sorry for a few months with no posts. The project at http://www.pdx.edu has been a great success and now we are scrambling to get more exposure in the Drupal, education, and corporate communities. This means I am very busy and working on a lot of efforts all while taking the helm of a whole new department. :)
Recently I went through the process of getting several modules for Drupal up on www.drupal.org. The process had several hurtles but after following the process and meeting the requirements I have the projects up.

Modules in the suite:

menu_access
Provides global and menu specific security permissions by role and user account.
- Global security for all menus (default)
- Per menu security

menu_item_access
Provides global and menu item specific security permissions by role and user account.
- Inherits security from the parent menu
- Global security for all menu items (default)
- Per menu item security

Module Code: http://www.drupal.org/project/menu_access
** Please note menu_access and menu_item_access are included as a single package.

node_access
Provides global and node specific security permissions by role and user account.
- Global security for all content types and nodes (default).
- Per content type and all nodes for the content type.
- Per node security scheme

Module Code: http://www.drupal.org/project/node_access

admin_access
Provides security check integration for all administration index pages and help index pages to only display links to modules, functions, and content based on the user's permissions and access rights. This module relies on the three modules detailed above. Exclusion from items in the administration and help sections are based on security rules defined in the module permissions and can be overriden using rules defined in the navigation menu (main admin menu).
- all admin index pages
- add content index
- help index/details
