Author Topic: How to create "read-only" or "view-only" role (Read 1239 times)

Hello,

I'm trying to create a role/acl in which the users assigned to that role cannot edit any contacts. After reading the docs and playing with drupal roles/perms, I've create a role, assigned it permissions, and even created a drupal user and assigned the user to the "read-only" role. However, that user can still edit any contact records. It acts as if the user were an authenticated user, which has edit permissions.

If there's docs or a how-to somewhere, please point me at it.

TIA!

all users are authenticated users. So you cannot give the auth user, "edit all contacts" and a specific role "view all contacts". all users would inherit the edit all contacts

Thanks for the response. So is there any way to achieve a read-only affect with authenticated users? Perhaps another instance of CiviCRM pointing to the same database but with select only db permissions? (yuk)

you can give auth user "view all contacts" i.e. a view role and then u can give some specific users "edit all contacts"

however you

cannot give auth users "edit all contacts" and then restrict specific users with "view all contacts"
