CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I have a Drupal / CiviCRM install with two types of memberships. Individual Membership, and Organization Membership. I have setup up matching Drupal roles for Individuals and Organizations.

When a user signs up for individual membership everything is straight forward. The contact is created, the membership information is associated with the contact, the drupal user is created, and the Roles Sync applies the appropriate role to the user.

With organizations however the form is set up to use "on behalf of an organization" enabled with "employee of" as the relationship type for the contact. The contact is created, the drupal user is created, the organization is created, but the membership information is assigned to the organization (which I understand is by design) not the user. Because of this the Roles Sync doesn't work as the membership is not on the contact, but the organization.

Does anyone know a workaround to this? It seems that the Roles Sync module should check if the user is an employee of an organization which has an appropriate membership and sync based on that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thank you so much! That was exactly what I needed. Looks like I had my terminology mixed up.

So here's the next question. If I have a few people who are employees of a given organization. Can I specify only one user who will inherit the membership of the organization? Right now if I have say a few employees, all of them will inherit the organizations membership which ideal for my situation.

Once again you've opened my eyes. I didn't even realize I could create my own relationship type. That solves my problem exactly. I just created another relationship type and used that for my membership. Thanks a bunch!
