CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I am trying to create a set-up where there are groups like "XYZ Volunteers" with corresponding "XYZ Administrators" groups (for many XYZs). The intent is that users in the XYZ Admin group can edit the details of the contacts in the XYZ Volunteers group (which I have achieved using CiviCRM ACL roles), and also see all of the contacts in the whole system (but are not able to edit them).

As lobo advised in http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,587.msg2370.html#msg2370 I needed to enable the Drupal ACL permission for Adding CiviCRM contacts for authenticated users, otherwise the XYZ Admins cannot edit people in their own group. Unfortunately, because they have a 'View' CiviCRM ACL permission for All Groups, this also means they can edit users in other groups too.

Is there some other way I can arrange my set-up to have the desired effect?

Thanks for any help!
