What does the ACL for civievent do?
September 24, 2009, 04:12:51 pm
I can't figure out what permissions are being given by giving view/edit acl for civievent.

It seems that "access civievent" (drupal) needs to be enabled anyway. And once it is enabled, it does not matter whether the user has view/edit acl.

Can someone explain to me?

the ACL for civievent is only used to restrict who can register for those events. i.e. its an acl for the url: civicrm/event/register

the view ACL gives you access to the info page
the edit ACL gives you access to register

These ACL's have nothing to do with the administering of an event

Hi Lobo,
We have a requirement where a user is required to "create" events but we don't want them to access other administration things like global settings, custom fields etc as they may "break" the system.

Could you suggest a way we can do this?

We've had a good play around but haven't been able to come up with something that works effectively. For the time being we have granted then admin access so that they can create the events.

Cheers,
Roly.

not sure about 2.2, but in 3.0 and 3.1

if u give folks:

access CiviEvent

they can manage events. they do not need administer civicrm access. The code changes for this are fairly minimal, so if still on 2.2, ping us on IRC and we can help u make the needed changes
