Name: simple_access module
Author: Gordon Heydon
Dependancies:
  This module requires node module.

INSTALLATION
********************************************************************
1. Place the entire simple_access directory into your Drupal modules/
   directory.

2. Enable this module by navigating to:

     administer > modules

3. After enabling this module in the previous step, navigate to

     administer > content management > post settings

   and click the 'Rebuild permissions' button. The module is now installed.


CREATING AN ACCESS GROUP
********************************************************************
Access groups are made up of user roles. Creating an access group
allows you to define the content accessible to those uesrs. By
default, simple_access makes all content public.

1. Once installed, navigate to

     administer > access control > simple access > add group

   and fill in the form fields as required.

CREATING A PROFILE
********************************************************************
Profiles are a method of defining the complete security configuration
for a node. So within a single profile the system administrator can
define exactly how a node will provide security. This means that users
with less knowledge can secure nodes without fear of exposing nodes to
users which should not have access.
