Question

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

Answer 1

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.
