Strange Groups Behaviors
June 07, 2010, 02:46:05 pm
Please compare the way an admin user sees a contact's Groups vs the way this authenticated user sees it:
http://yjpnewyork.com/admin.jpg
http://yjpnewyork.com/authuser.jpg

As you notice, the authenticated user cannot see Past Groups, making it impossible for the authenticated user to rejoin the contact to the contact's past group.

Now here is the weird thing: The authenticated user in question is part of an ACL Role giving him Edit access to all groups, yet he cannot see a contact's Past Groups. If however I go into the Drupal Permissions and enable permission 'View All Contacts' on the Drupal level, he then can see Past Groups! Why is this happening?

(Obviously keeping Drupal permission 'View All Contacts' enabled for all authenticated users isn't practical if you want your ACLs to work.)

Anyone have any suggestions on fixing this? I'd be interested to know if anyone else is experiencing this problem too.

most likely a bug in CiviCRM, IMO

if you can investigate and figure out what/why/where that would be great. Your starting point would be:

CRM/Contact/Page/View/GroupContact.php
