CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I'm evaluating CiviCRM for the organization that I work for.

We are a member-based organization, but where are members are other organizations, not individuals.  Each member organization has employees and related contacts that will also need to be tracked in the CRM.

It seems like CiviCRM represents the contacts pretty well with the members being Organization contacts and the employees/associates being represneted as Individual contacts connected to the organization with Relationships.

I'm less clear about whether CiviCRM can provide this needed functionality, however:

We want to designate a related Individual contact as the primary contact for an organization.  That contact, when logged in through Drupal, should be able to edit the information for her related organization contact as well as for other Individual contacts related to her organization.

It seems like the default Drupal permissions and CiviCRM ACL options don't support this.  Is it possible to implement a custom Drupal module (or the CiviCRM equivalent of a module) to control access like this.  Is there any documentation of the CiviCRM hooks I'd have to implement or even a reference implementation of these hooks so I can try to evaluate how much dev. time it would take to implement this?

Thanks,
Geoff

no, the joomla version of civicrm is lacking permissions and roles
