The writers and maintainers of this module deserve a lot of credit.
I have used it in 4.6, 4.7 and 5.7 and it certainly does work. But it is hard to get your head around sometimes how it works and the practical effect of different settings.
I think the difficulty is inherent in having to bolt something fundamental onto Drupal core alongside the core role and access permission systems. Imho it illustrates the need for a much more granular approach to content access being built into core.
The documentation is reasonably clear in the context of the above.
When I first set my site up 3 years ago I was pushed towards Organic Groups, didn't feel that gave me the user experience I wanted, tried simple_access but found it was TAC that really provided me the functionality I wanted.
From my own experience, it is worth looking at more than one module to see which most closely matches what you want to do. And the only problem with that is you don't really see the possible pitfalls until you have installed them and tried to run with them. A comprehensive and comparative review of the different node access modules would be useful.....
This is a must have module if you are building a content driven website
For my purposes, these modules were useless. Tac_Lite and Taxonomy Access Control utterly failed to provide role-based access to taxonomies.
I've tried the arcane, and mislabeled, "create" toggle. I've tried the "rebuild permissions" button. Perhaps I don't really understand what these modules are for, but if you're trying to apply vocabularies based on user role, look elsewhere.
Documentation for these mods is also spotty.
Does this site make your life easier? Help me keep it online. Bandwidth and server costs are more than $220/month.
