Hi, i'm using drupal 5 and civicrm 1.9

I will try to explain myself with an example.

I have 2 types of individuals.

1. Members
2. Not Members

Only admins can register members, but anonymous can register themselves as not members, both need to enter this information:

1. First name
2. Last Name
3. Custom data 1
4. Custom data 2
5. Custom data 3

But only members are requested to enter the following data:

6. Custom data 4
7. custom data 5
8. custom data 6.

I've checked the user registration option when creating a profile, but since i use the drupal's user registration form to register a member in both cases, how can i make the custom data 4, 5, and 6 only be added by admins.

Remember, both individuals are requested to add custom data but custom data 4, 5, and 6 should only be added by admins, not by users, this is because it's critical information.

Thanks

Luis

Hello Luis,

I think the easiest answer to your question is an ACL.

1) make certain that custom data 4,5, and 6 are in a separate custom profile from first, last, 1,2, and 3.

2) Make a group that only includes your admin.

3) in CiviCRM, go to Administer-->Users and Permissions-->Permissions(ACLs)
a) Manage Roles- Create a role called Admin
b) Assign Users to Roles- Assign the Admin Group to the Admin Role
c) Manage ACLs-->Add an ACL - Description is whatever you like, Role=Admin, Operation=edit, type of data=a set of custom fields, Custom data= the set that contains fields 4,5, and 6.

This should help solve your issue.
Cheers,
Jason
