Hi Anita,

Here’s what I did: once I had all the content types set up, I created roles for each content type. Then, once I installed the Account Types module, I created account types and assigned roles to each. As an example, “liaison librarian” is an account type and the roles assigned to this account type are:

- “subject guide editor”: can create and edit subject guides
- “news & events contributor”: can create and edit our blog and events page.

I totally understand why it might take a while to wrap your head around this stuff — it took me a while too. However, once you start creating your content types, roles (and account types) do tend to fall into place.

Good luck! Let me know if there’s anything else I can do to help!

I’m working through these issues with our new Drupal site so it’s very useful to read about your experience. Would you be willing to share how exactly you use content type permissions and the Account Types module to build permissions on your site? I’m having trouble getting my head around the whole thing.

Thanks in advance, Amanda. This has been an extremely useful series of posts!
