Custom Permissions

This very light-weight module allows additional permissions to be created and managed through a administration form. It uses the menu access system to allow or disallow access to it.

On the administration page a user is able to create a permission with name and path(s).

These permissions can then be assigned to roles on the permissions page.

Important security note: If any permission has a given path, any person with a role having that permission can visit that path.

The name of the module changed from "Site Configuration Permissions" to "Custom Permissions" in the 7.x version and above.

8.x-2.x

The current supported branch. Custom permissions use routes instead of paths, in line with modern Drupal. As of 8.x-1.x through the work of utiks, custom permissions are configuration entities, exportable via features and configuration manager. From 6.x-2.x on, the module allows additional permissions to be created and managed through a administration form.

On the administration page a user can set the permission name and permission path(s)

By default the following permissions are created:

• Administer account settings
• Administer date-time
• Administer error logs
• Administer file system

(Some of the permissions created historically by default in this module (such as "administer modules"!), have become new, non-custom, Drupal core permissions.)

This module should really be used as a last resort— if there is a module specifically for adding more fine-grained permissions in some category, it is probably best to use that. Some we know about:

• Block permissions
• Block Access
• Menu Admin per Menu
• Menu Level Permissions
• Simple Menu Permissions
