How to disable "Send email to contacts" for some user roles?
October 22, 2009, 02:03:58 am
Hi,

as this is my first post, apologies if I put this in the wrong spot.

I am using civi3 on drupal.

On our website we don't want everyone to do mass emailing, so we have already disabled mass mailing in user permissions for some roles. Unfortunately, everyone who is logged in - whatever their role - can get around this, by searching for contacts, then checking "All results" and choosing to "Send email to contacts" in the dropdown on the search results page.

Is it possible to disable this feature for some user roles, but not for all, while still allowing everyone to search for everyone?

Many thanks,

Marc

Hi Marc,

Currently in CiviCRM those have 'view all contact' permission can send an email.

Apply the patch in attached file.

You will find  'send an email' permission in http://domain/admin/user/permissions

Then give permission of  'send an email' to specific user role

Swell,

I'd suggest to have it standard, will it be added in the core ?

we'll need to think about it and do some task based permissioning rather than just adding this as a one-off

we currently have approx 20 tasks based on search results and would be good to have some decent permissioning behind it that is customizable

would also be good to allow all search results to have those tasks exposed in all cases (even though most tasks are contact specific)

xavier, wanna spec this out and start working on the implementation

Does this 'send an email' permission via the patch cover both the 'one to one' email available via the 'send an email' on each 'contacts' record' and the 'send an email' via the More Actions - or is it just the latter?

I had this need also - disable sending of any email for a role. This saved me. Thanks. (Had to manually apply some of the patches as Civi version has advanced.)
