Summary
Users, roles, and permissions help Drupal manage access for various personas. These features are used by Drupal to provide fine-grained access controls to users of the Drupal system. Drupal can then perform authorization tied to specific system actions. These features exemplify Drupal’s extensibility for use cases tied to various personas and the specific actions each persona can be allowed to perform. Drupal’s modules help define the actions as permissions and the logic to authorize actions. The next chapter covers a complex but powerful feature in Drupal called Views that is used to create dynamic content displays.
