Tell us what you are trying to do?
I am trying to create a taxonomy based permissions, that would allow granular control over content within taxonomies. My thinking is the way you can manage permissions on folders and its contents; taxonomy being the "folders" and the "posts" being the content.
I haven't been able to achieve this in the Access Component.

So I would be able to define. Role 1 can access everything publish in taxonomy 1 and 3.
Role 2 can access everything in taxonomy 1, but not taxonomy 1.1.
Role 3 can only access content within taxonomy 2.

Taxonomy 1
Taxonomy 1.1.
Taxonomy 2
Taxonomy 3

Is there any documentation that you are following?
Yes, the access component.

Is there a similar example that we can see?
Not seen in wordpress yet, but its a mainstream Enterprise Content Management granular permissions control system, like the one in Alfresco : hidden link
At this level of granularity, you can define complete permissions and restrictions for roles, users, and apply them to folders, subfolders and items. This is what I am trying to achieve here.

What is the link to your site?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

There is no such feature to build such a complex mainstream Enterprise Content Management granular permissions system.

With Access, you can only set the permissions like Assign terms | Delete terms | Edit terms | Manage terms which will have an effect on the backend. You can set permissions for Post types, Taxonomies, Types group, Toolset forms, Custom groups but to build such a complex system if you go with Toolset if many need custom programming.

I suggest you should try to install a test site using any of our available reference sites on our free test platform http://www.discover-wp.com and try to play with it and check whats possible and whats not possible and then take a wise decision.
