CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

On our multisite set up what I am seeing is:

My Administrator can log into the level 1 site and into all of the other sites and in every case sees all functionality & all contacts on all sites. ie. on the EU site they see all contacts from Belgium, France and Germany. When I log onto France I see all the contacts, groups, contributions etc from Belgium, France & Germany

My L2 site managers can log into all the different sites. Whichever site they log into they see the contacts for that site & all the civiCRM functions for that site. i.e. my Belgium administrator automatically has a log on on my France site. When they are logged onto France they see all the contacts in the groups (and all the various civicrm screens such as contact dashboard et associated with the France site. When they are logged onto the Belgium site they see all the contacts (and  contributions etc) associated with the Belgium site but none of the contacts associated with the France site.

I didn't start testing until I did the upgrade to 3.1Beta 4 today so I don't know how it did work before but my expectation was that the France administrator would not see Belgium contacts just by logging into the Belgium site but would in fact see (at most) the same contacts they saw in the France site.

I thought at first it was something I'd changed in playing around but I don't think so now. Here's the config:

civicrm_domain

id

name

	1	Europe
	2	Belgium
	3	France
civicrm_group	name	parent	child
2	Europe	null	3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,14
3	Belgium	2	null
4	France	2	null

All of the L2 site managers have All civicrm permissions except for :

Manage Multi-site
Edit all contacts
View all contacts

My Belgium site manager currently only has group membership records (in civicrm_group_contact for the group 3)
h
NB
- the drupal Administrator (userID =1) is a member of group 2 (only).
- The Europe Org (contact_id=2) is a member of group 2 (only).
- The France Org (contact_id=3) is a member of group 2 (only)
- when logged in as administrator (with access multi-site permission) I see the 'associated multi-org group' on the groups tab of the France Org's contact record and this takes me to view group 4. 

Thank you for your quick & helpful reply!

I had misunderstood the way it should work. On the install I am looking at there is only one Drupal database - not multiple as you suggest. I will check with Pete about this as I'm new to multi-site & he probably set it up that way on purpose - possibly just because it's a test.

I was thinking the single Drupal users table was a good thing and it could allow users to move seamlessly between sites - especially useful for a site hosting multiple charities where people could donate to one or more of them & receive consolidated reporting (e.g. for tax returns) but of course that is a more complex scenario.

The France Org is a member of group 2 (only) = Europe? Doesn't sound right.
No, you're right - it is as you say it should be. I was incorrect in my last post
