I have users that need to be able to edit a piece of content they created until the status field on the piece content is updated to a particular value.

I've done some research and it looks like there are questions that are similar to mine but different enough that their solutions don't seem applicable.

I realize this question might be vague but I don't know how else to phrase it.

Are there any solutions to my problem?

Edit: I am using Drupal 7.

  • You should let us know what version of Drupal you are using (6,7,8?). It sounds like you may be looking for a workflow solution using something like Workbench, specifically Moderation can be used to set node permissions based on the publication status of a node, but that might be a different kind of "status" than you're talking about.

  • The status I'm talking about comes from a select list field on the form. Also I updated the question to include my version of Drupal. Currently looking into workbench!

I think you can achieve this by implementing hook_node_access() with a check on the particular field.

https://forumone.com/ideas/programmatically-restricting-access-to-drupal-content has a very similar use case (except the field there is an entityreference field to users, but you get the gist)

  • This looks great! I'll give it a shot and update when it's done.

  • Can this be applied solely to the edit content instead of blocking node access entirely?

  • As per documentation the $op parameter can be "create", "delete", "update" or "view". So any
