Situation: I have a subtree that needs content-read access for the anonymous user; sibling nodes may or may not be publicly accessible; there is a subtree within the subtree that needs to have restricted access (i.e. not readable by anonymous user). I know this can be done with sections but I have a complication in that there are variable page layouts assigned to sections, and if I add more sections, I need to add more template overrides. This is do-able but it seems inelegant to me. I was thinking I would instead apply permissions with limitation by subtree but am I correct in understanding that a privilege granted to a subtree applies to all descendant nodes, regardless of restrictions you set at lower levels? That appears to be how it is behaving, as I cannot hide the restricted access descendant node from the anonymous user after giving it read access to the ancestral subtree. Is there some way to achieve what I'm trying to achieve that will not involve multiple sections and template overrides to keep subsections styled like their parent sections?
