function hook_node_access_records

Set permissions for a node to be written to the database.

When a node is saved, a module implementing hook_node_access_records() will be asked if it is interested in the access permissions for a node. If it is interested, it must respond with an array of permissions arrays for that node.

Each permissions item in the array is an array with the following elements:

• 'realm': The name of a realm that the module has defined in hook_node_grants().
• 'gid': A 'grant ID' from hook_node_grants().
• 'grant_view': If set to TRUE a user that has been identified as a member of this gid within this realm can view this node.
• 'grant_update': If set to TRUE a user that has been identified as a member of this gid within this realm can edit this node.
• 'grant_delete': If set to TRUE a user that has been identified as a member of this gid within this realm can delete this node.
• 'priority': If multiple modules seek to set permissions on a node, the realms that have the highest priority will win out, and realms with a lower priority will not be written. If there is any doubt, it is best to leave this 0.
