In Drupal 7 is it possible to have one content type with various access /visibility settings?
I am trying to build an internal site for work and after creating the organizational structure in taxonomy I have twenty units, of which 9 are roots and 11 are subs.
I want these units to be both separated and hierarchical when it comes to access. I also want them to contribute to the same content type and I am not sure if that is possible. I can think of creating multiple similar content types and configuring each through the content access module but there might be a better way, like ... havinge one content type and restricting its access based on taxonomy whilst having the same taxonomy choices limited based on the contributor role?!
Yesterday, I installed Workbench Access and I couldn't find a way in it to restrict access or limit taxonomy but I like the moderation bit. I am guessing that what I want is a concatenation of different modules that play nicely together, so how can I have one size to fit all if possible?

How about adding an "access_level" field to this content type, and give each node of that content type a level (number), and to condition access based on this field value?
That's exactly what the taxonomy access module will do.

Thanks, I installed TAC and it did exactly the things I wanted.
