Prevent content creation/edition with rules

Question

Is it possible to avoid content creation/edition just based in rules?

For example, a rule "before node save" that redirects to home page or other page.

Does this prevent node saving or it just saves and then redirect? if it does prevent, is it hackeable like faking a form that submits to the real saving url?

I was forced to give extra permissions to anonimous user to solve an issue with a view content, after 2 weeks searching and asking I didn't find other solution than give these permissions — K. Weber, Jul 11 '12 at 11:26
Unfortunately, even Rules cannot do this in this way. "before node save" means "presave" operation in a hook_nodeapi that means validation and some of the operations are already done. To prevent it from saving, you can follow what the Reda's answer says, or make you own hook_nodeapi function to validate form before submission. If you can reveal a little more about your use case, i think other users here at SO would answer. — AKS, Jul 11 '12 at 23:09

You can manipulate the node permissions and customize them to override the default values set in admin/people/permissions using hook_node_access()

Hope this helps... Muhammad.

Does the Rules Forms module - https://drupal.org/project/rules_forms - help?
