Module Development

Concept: Permissions for Drupal 8, 9, 10, and 11

Permissions in Drupal control access to features and functions. Modules define permissions, which allow site administrators to grant or restrict access based on user roles. As a module developer, you'll create new permissions to restrict access to your module's custom features, independent of existing permissions defined by other modules.

In this tutorial, we'll:

  • Explore how and where permissions are defined within a module.
  • Discuss the concept of static and dynamic permissions in Drupal.

By the end of this tutorial, you'll have a clear understanding of how permissions function in Drupal and their implementation in modules.
