Setting up Access Control with Drupal's Workbench Access Module

Many (if not all) councils have been asking for a way to do "access control", whereby only certain editors can edit certain parts of the website. I put together the LocalGov Drupal Content Access Control module so we'd have a defined way of doing this and all councils can have a similar approach. 

Here's a short video explaining how it works (which might help people outside of councils who also need to set this up). In short:

1. Create a taxonomy called "Access Control".
2. Add terms to this.
3. Use this taxonomy in a "Workbench Access" scheme.
4. Add editors and/or roles to the site sections.
5. Add a field to content types that references the "Access Control" vocabulary.
6. Enjoy!
