ACL : view all contacts, edit only one group's contacts
April 21, 2010, 01:32:22 pm
Hi,

First, thank you for this very powerful soft and the help with the forum.

Here was my challenge today :

The group chief must edit all contacts in his group : I set an ACL role with "edit", "group XXX". It works fine  :)

But how to grant this group chief with the ability to view all contacts ?

I tried with an ACL role : "view" "all groups". But the user could also modify the contact = wrong

I tried with drupal permissions "view all contacts" : same results.

Did someone set up this succesfully ?

Hi,
You said "I tried with an ACL role : "view" "all groups". But the user could also modify the contact = wrong", but I am not sure this is correct. Even though it shows "view" and "edit" next to the contacts, if you click on "edit" you will get a message that says you do not have permission to edit the contact.

I tested this as follows:
An ACL rule for the "chief" that allows "edit" capability for the chief's group.
A second ACL that allows "view" access for "All groups".

If your Drupal permissions for the Drupal role assigned to the "chief" are set correctly this should work correctly.

Thanks for your reply.

I tested again and your configuration works by me too.

It's wrong when the contacts group is a smart group, althoug civicrm gives you the ability to choose a smart group.

Does anyone confirm this issue ?
