Permissions for Authenticated Users
September 21, 2007, 07:33:42 pm
I cannot figure out this issue When an authenticated user tries to do the below:I need to allow authenticated users to Edit their account but not Delete their accounts

1. my account->view contact record->Edit

Sorry. A non-recoverable error has occurred.You do not have access to this page Return to CiviCRM menu.


2.my account->view contact record->Delete

Are you sure you want to Delete the selected contacts? A Delete operation cannot be undone.
Number of selected contacts: 1

Permissions that you have set for civicrm, should work for you.

Which drupal and civicrm version you using ?

Check, if any drupal permission is creating the problem.

I am using Drupal 4.7 and Civicrm 1.7 on my live site. I have been able to reproduce this on localhost with Drupal 5.2 and Civicrm 1.8

Admin can modify all records however a user cannot modify his own record.He can however delete his own record which is weird.

Perhaps a better way to give your users the ability to edit their own account info is  to create a Profile with the fields that you want them to view and edit. Then you can expose a link to that profile in "edit" mode as a drupal menu item for authenticated users:

...civicrm/profile/edit?gid=X&reset=1 (where X = the ID of your profile)

Then you can remove the "access CiviCRM" permission from these users' Role and not worry about them deleting or doing other problematic things.
