STAC (Simple Taxonomy Access Control) is a module that greatly reduces the time to set up basic access control through taxonomy. There is no other module integration or requirements. Simply download the module, choose a vocabulary, a field, and set permissions.

The goal of STAC is to allow role based permissions to control the viewing of nodes by taxonomy. By attaching a term reference to a node you can then choose the term that best describes the access you want. For example if you have a basic page that you only want authenticated users to see, you can do the following:

  1. Create a vocabulary called Access.
  2. Add a few terms to describe the access: Visitor, Member, Admin.
  3. Attach a term reference field to the basic page using the Access vocabulary.
  4. Connect the terms to the field in the UI.
  5. Set permissions.
