In drupal 8, how can I make a node available only to unlogged user and not available to logged users. In other words how can I make a node available only to guest users ?
Follow the Straightforward steps:
Go to /admin/people/permissions
Search "View published content" and allow the access of node to whom you would like to be.

Is it possible to create a user on a multisite that has access to all the sites in the network, but has limited permissions to for example install plugins and view/edit certain settings? The only thing I want this user to be able to do is to jump in between sites and be able to edit the content of these, without having to log in and out with different accounts on each of the sites.
The most optimal solution would be if I could create a new user role based on the super admin role, and then deactivate permissions from there. But from what I see in the admin interface of the network, I seem to only be able to give a user the super admin role and no other role, except for if I create a user on any of the specific "sub sites" in the network.
Any ideas for how to do this?
I totally misunderstood how this works. I just figured out that I have to do the following:
Create a user on the network. From what I understand, I should not assign the Super Admin role to this user if I don't want the user to have access to the network settings.
Go to Users > Add New on the sites where I want this user to have access and enter the email or username of the user in the input field under Add Existing User.
Choose the Role that this user should have on the specific site.
Click Add Existing User
The user can now login to either one of the sites where the user was added and can switch in between the sites in the admin bar, without having access to the network admin area.
For now I selected the Editor role for this user to limit access to plugins and other settings that only the admin should have access to. If I want to modify the capabilities of the user I could either do it manually or just install a plugin like User Role Editor to do this.
I have a Drupal 7 site with single SSO via the LDAP module, which allows us to run the site as n Intranet and users that hit the site with IE will get automatically authenticated using their active directory credentials.
I have a personnel directory content type that holds a list of all of our employees and some of their stats (photo, email, phone number, etc.).
The problem I want to allow the logged in user to be able to edit the node in the personnel directory page that represents them, but because there is no relation between the logged in user and the nodes under the personnel directory content type I am not sure how to go about allowing users to edit their own entries?
The personnel directory page is automatically populated/updated via feeds (it looks at our AD, and pulls down users and updates them if it detects updates in AD meta data).
Somehow I need to tie the logged in user to the specific node, any idea how I could automate this as there are over 300+ nodes/users.
Ultimately, I'd like to have a "edit personnel bio" link that they can link, that will link based on their [current logged in user ID] it will allow them to edit the correct node in the [personnel directory] content type.
I hope this was clear enough to point me to some direction.
Thank you.
basically you want to create a user "role". Then in your permissions page (the one with 1000 checkboxes) you can add edit access to your "personnel bio" content type (or fields) for just that user role.
Then in your template you provide the user a link to the same page with /edit in the url.
Make sure the user has permissions to edit the node of that type. Upon creation of the node via feeds, create a rule (use the Rules module https://drupal.org/project/RULES) to change the creator of the node to that user's uid.
Add another field in the user's account to match their AD username to tie them together. To do this, create a module as seen at https://drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/8253/how-to-add-extra-fields-to-user-profile
I've tried the "Protected Node" module, but that goes to the 404 instead of the password prompt page which it's supposed to give.
Also tried the "Simple Access" module, and after getting it to control access, realised that it still shows users the "edit" menu and there doesn't seem to be a way to switch it off for them.
Thanks to anyone who can help.
I have used the "Node Access" module before. But for one site I had to work on recently, I needed something that allows me to restrict access for anonymous users on a single page. Only visitors, who have received the password should have access.
Installing the Node Access module and creating a specific role seemed to be an overkill for this limited requirement, and I went with the "Protected Pages" module, which allows to set a password for a certain path. (d7 only)
Access to the admin is usually controlled via the user permissions as for limiting access to a specific page, this could be achieved with Panels.
Use NodeAccess module to restrict that page based on role.
Users with the 'grant node permissions' permission will have a grant
tab on node pages which allows them to grant access to that node by
user or role.
In my drupal installation I have created two type of nodes.
Free access (non - registered users)
Only member access (registered users)
I used a content access module to set permissions.
Now I have created a list of these nodes using views, the problem is that when free user sees that list, they are not shown the list of nodes accessible only to registered users.
I want to be able to show all the list of nodes, regardless of who is seeing them, but when a non-registered clicks on node not be accessed by him, they will be taken to login page.

The Premium module allows to show teasers to all users and the full body only to privileged users.
How do I give a specific user editing rights to a specific node?
I have a user role named "Student". Multiple users have that role, only a few of them can edit a node. How can I realise this?
I'll try and cover a few use cases, with how I would solve them:
If all members of a category of users can edit any node of a certain type
Create a new role for that subset of users ('Super Students', as Emyr suggested) and grant them 'Edit content of type' permissions through Drupal's core permission system (no node access module required)
If all members of a category of users can edit specific nodes
Create a new role for that subset of users and grant them edit permissions on the specific nodes (a node access modules is required, such as Node Access or Content Access). This will also require that someone has the permissions (and time) to grant access to the role whenever a new node is created.
Some users can edit some nodes; there is no 'elite' group of users who can edit all nodes, and not all members can edit the same nodes
This will require a node access module, such as Node Access or Content Access with ACL. There will also need to be administrative users who have the permission to grant other users access to edit the nodes.
Allow users to grant others access to edit a node they have created.
I implemented this recently with a user reference CCK field and Node Access User Reference. You can grant users permission to edit their own nodes through the core permissions system and they can then add other users to the user reference field. In my case creators are not given that permission and I set up the default value of the field to the creator's user id, which allows a user to remove themselves from being able to edit the node.
These all assume there is no categorization for your content. You may be able to utilize node access modules based on Taxonomy or Organic Groups if your content and users are organized sufficiently.
For sort of abnormal permissions stuff like this, I've always found that a small custom module is the way to go. General node access modules have to be general enough to be useful for a lot of different cases, which generally makes them sort of messy and confusing.
For this specific one, you could create a module that implements hook_nodeapi and on $op==prepare, check the user's ID against your user reference and do a drupal_goto the access denied page if they don't match up.
You can do this with Flexi Access. Giving a specific user the "update" privilege on a node will allow him to edit the node.
For more options, see the page: Overview of Node Access modules # Drupal.org.
Have you tried either Node Access or Content Access?
If only a subset should be able to edit nodes, you need an additional "super student" role.
The Node Access module may help you set appropriate permissions on the nodes. Here is an excerpt from its project page:
... provides roles and user specific security permissions for menus, menu items, nodes, and security integration into the administration and help systems. We would like to provide this suite of modules back to the community to share the usefulness of the suite and involve the community to provide additional support, testing, and moderation.
Special care was taken to ensure the usability of permission management was consistent across all sections of the system (nodes, menus, menu items). Also each security module uses a cascading security scheme to allow global security and the option to override or define exceptions to the security model for individual items.
