CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I have a multisite set up and it seems contacts only assigned to the L2 site's groups are viewable which is right.  However, the individuals created from the L2 site aren't a part of any group unless specifically set which isn't right.

Additionally, mailings can be sent, but without "administer CiviCRM" permissions they don't have a lot of the things like mailing templates and "From Addresses".

So:
A) Will giving admin permissions cause anything set from the L2 site to affect the L1 site or any other L2 site?  Or will it completely be limited to the L2 site? 
B) How can we set it such that users from a L2 site are by default added to the L2 site's group, and can't be removed from the group except by a superadmin or deletion?

So I can give a L2 site user admin and be pretty sure they aren't going to screw things up for others as long as they don't have the multi-site admin and the "____ all _____" permissions?  Great.

As for the not being assigned to group it's that if I'm on a L2 site and I add a contact, but don't specify the group - they "disappear" in regards to that L2 site since they aren't added to that L2 site's group.  If I log in as superadmin and change that contact to L2's group, they appear.  Additionally, the L2 group doesn't appear when creating contacts.  A new group has to be created with the L2 group being set as the parent - THEN contacts can be added to L2's SUB-group.  So the group structure seems to be required to be something like:

Main Group
|___	L2 Group
	|___	L2 Group - Contacts
	L2 Group
	|___	L2 Group - Contacts
	L2 Group
	|___	L2 Group - Contacts

I found that somehow my L2 civicrm.settings.php had:

//define( 'CIVICRM_MULTISITE' , null );

even though I could've sworn it was set like it ought to be to

define( 'CIVICRM_MULTISITE' , 1 );

It was set correctly in my L1 site and all other settings were correct.  That part seems to be working.

However, Mailings still only show the L2 Group - Contacts group and it doesn't see the L2 group itself so I can't send a mail to all.  I imagine this is by design.  So as long as the original question of this group not affecting the L1 group or other sub-groups is correct then everything should be good for me. 

Thanks so much for the help ,Eileen.
