Hidden Nodes

This module adds a system similar to publish / unpublished status of nodes except that this is more granular. The reason that this is needed is so that you can tell certain roles they can't view nodes while others can.

The issue with publishing status is that there is no grey area, it's all published or all unpublished. Use this module if you want to be able to limit what some users see in books and menus but still want others to have full visibility of that content within the context of the site.

Using this module, pages can be fully or partially hidden. This is easily managed right in the node edit ui.

hidden_nodes looks for the "view all hidden content" permission when a user tries to view a node that is marked as hidden.
