Does anyone have any recommendations on content access/permissions implementation they can share?
I'm a (relatively new) Drupal developer at private university that's nearing the end of an almost-two-year transition from Coldfusion to Drupal 7. We have around 800 faculty/staff and almost 200 of them need (or want) access to edit specific pages or sections on the website.
Currently, we have a very basic permission structure in place. Our accounts are integrated with SSO through CAS and so every user has their individual account. Most fall into the general editor role and can edit pages they've been giving ownership of. We also have a reviewer role who can publish those changes and 'edit any' on a few different content types.
Problems arise because some areas want more than one person to edit a page. I've solved this with Content Access and ACL but it's still a very manual process. I would love to be able to propagate access to all pages within a section but that's not so easily done. I am looking into the workbench suite which seems to allow that but I haven't tested it or seen it in action yet.
