File access by node type

File access by node type allows website administrators to select which roles can access files belonging to nodes of a certain node type. This goes beyond simple field permission, since there can be situations where users might embed an uploaded file into a Body textarea, or a WYSIWYG editor.

This module was developed along with Steve Colson from Switchback to be used in a system where thy had imported a large amount of HTML content into nodes, and they had references to files all over the place.
