CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hi,

Is it possible to add a contact to a group after its creation ?

More complicated :

Is it possible to add a contact to a group which depends on the user group ?

In my instance of CiviCRM, each contact has a Drupal-role synchronized to a CiviCRM group (1 to 1 relation, with CiviGroup Roles Sync). I called these user-groups like this: "Users of the foo-department". Then, there is one contact group for each of the user groups, and this group represents the contacts the user can view and edit. I called it "Contacts owned by users of foo-department". And there are ACLs for that. In Drupal, the permission "edit all contacts" and "view all contacts" is set to false.

The aim is to allow users to view and edit only the contacts they are responsible for. Other users can't even view those contacts.

Now, when a user creates a new contact, by defaults it belongs to no group. So the user can't even view the newly created contact! So here is the point, why I need to add automatically this contact to the group corresponding to the contacts owned by the user, according to the group of the user.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I need the same function. Is the hook implemented? Where can I find it?

Many thanks
