How do I restrict view/edit access to a custom content type node to only the user it belongs to?

Question

There is a content type; let's call it Contract. I have an user role; let's call it Consultant.

I added a Consultant field to the Contract content type with Entity Reference.

How can I restrict access to view/edit that specific node to only the user it belongs to?

Answer 1

You can use the Node access user reference module.

Gives content access permissions to users for content that references the users with User reference or Entity reference.
