Hi,
We've created a custom module. The module integration appears to be fine. The module is recognized by Civi, the pages etc work.

We added specific permissions for access to the module and specific operations within the module. The permission choices appear correctly in drupal and can be set successfully.

However we do not see the permissions appearing in the ACL.

We are retrieving the ACL as follows:
$session =& CRM_Core_Session::singleton( );
$userID = $session->get( 'userID' );
   
require_once('sites/all/modules/civicrm/CRM/ACL/BAO/ACL.php') ;
$acl_list = CRM_ACL_BAO_ACL::getAllByContact($userID) ;

I would appreciate some direction to what we might have missed.

Thanks,
     Dave

Hi Lobo,
Sorry its a little hard to explain.

Please take a look at the attachment where I've tried to explain. 
From looking at the data, there does appear to be a connection between the permissions page and the data returned by
CRM_ACL_BAO_ACL::getAllByContact(userID)

Thanks,
Dave

Hi lobo

Are custom module exposes permission in the same manner as standard modules.

in info.php we have the following:
    public function getPermissions()
    {
        return array( 'access ARModule',
                      'add payment',   
                      'view payment' );
    }

The permissions appear on the drupal permissions page as we expected.

However we do know how to retrieve what the settings are for the current user.
It appeared that this could be done through CRM_ACL_BAO_ACL::getAllByContact($userID).

This returns an arrary of permissions (many are beyond contacts and custom data)

For example CiviContribute contains the following
    public function getPermissions()
    {
        return array( 'access CiviContribute',
                      'edit contributions',
                      'make online contributions',
                      'delete in CiviContribute' );
    }
These are expose on the drupal permissions page and then appear in the output of CRM_ACL_BAO_ACL::getAllByContact($userID).

            [is_active] => 1
        )

            [id] => 20
            [name] => Core ACL

            [object_id] =>
            [acl_table] =>
            [acl_id] =>
            [is_active] => 1
        )

    [33] => Array
        (
            [id] => 33
            [name] => Core ACL
            [deny] => 0
            [entity_table] => civicrm_acl_role
            [entity_id] => 1
            [operation] => All
            [object_table] => edit contributions
            [object_id] =>
            [acl_table] =>
            [acl_id] =>
            [is_active] => 1
        )
    [42] => Array
        (
            [id] => 42
            [name] => Core ACL
            [deny] => 0
            [entity_table] => civicrm_acl_role
            [entity_id] => 1
            [operation] => All
            [object_table] => make online contributions
            [object_id] =>
            [acl_table] =>
            [acl_id] =>
            [is_active] => 1
        )

Also, the permissions appear in the when we go to the customize the Navigation menu page.

Our problem is determining the permission settings for our custom module so we can determine what operations are valid for the user.

Thanks
