function node_access_write_grants

Writes a list of grants to the database, deleting any previously saved ones.

If a realm is provided, it will only delete grants from that realm, but it will always delete a grant from the 'all' realm. Modules that utilize node_access() can use this function when doing mass updates due to widespread permission changes.

Note: Don't call this function directly from a contributed module. Call node_access_acquire_grants() instead.

Parameters

$node: The node whose grants are being written.

$grants: A list of grants to write. Each grant is an array that must contain the following keys: realm, gid, grant_view, grant_update, grant_delete. The realm is specified by a particular module; the gid is as well, and is a module-defined id to define grant privileges. each grant_* field is a boolean value.

$realm: (optional) If provided, read/write grants for that realm only. Defaults to NULL.

$delete: (optional) If false, does not delete records. This is only for optimization purposes, and assumes the caller has already performed a mass delete of some form. Defaults to TRUE.
