Author handling node view access? First post here! ;) I'm not getting any help from the Drupal forums on this, maybe someone can help me out...Does anyone know of a module that I can use so that an Author can allow access to a user requesting access to the Author's node.
The setup would be like this:
1. An Author would create a private node, but viewable in teaser form.
2. Any Authenticated user could then request access to the node/full view.
3. The Author would then have a queue, say in their own user environment, where he/she could approve or deny access to the node/full view for the requesting user.
Thank you very much!
I was thinking about building a simple access system, but that would be like re-inventing the wheel.

Take a look at content_access in combination with ACL. The flexiaccess might be another option.
