Temporarily removing document access restrictions

Hello all,
I’m building a new publication website for one of my clients. They have a large set of documents, some are free to view publicly, and others require a subscription. All is good... but I’ve just recently had a request from them (a couple of days before planned launch >:() for their subscription content to be made publicly available for the first 6 weeks after their site goes live... They do not want their users to have to log in in any way during this period, so they wont accept a solution of providing access details of a demo account.

Is there a simple way I can achieve this without having to remove any document groups, as in, to make all articles in my ’Subscriber Only’ document group to be publicly accessible? I’ve got a couple of thousand articles, so I need a solution which doesn’t involve manual work. Another requirement of the client is zero downtime ... Anyone got any bright ideas?

Thanks in advance!

ManagerManager module.

I think sottwell means the "Doc Manager" Module
That should do what you want

Yeah, what he said

Actually, you just need to remove the relationship between any web user groups and the document group in question. By doing so, those pages will no longer be restricted to web users. Only document groups with a related user group assigned will restrict access.

Guys - thanks a lot! Much easier than I expected thank you!
