Subject: ACL for Joomla! in 3.4 / 4.0

 

Hey Eileen, I've been following in the forums and on the blog the talk and notes about integration of ACL for Joomla! in a coming release.  My org is really interested in this development but I haven't been able to find the spec's on what exactly this is going to look like if it gets fully funded. 

We have a particular interest in being able to restrict access for low level users to one or more 'custom data' sets for a contact, but allow access to another (custom data set).

I'm lobbying my boss to make a contribution in support of the project but this is an essential piece for us.  Any thoughts? 




hey josh:

There is no spec for this as yet (i dont think we will write one for this)

the goal of the project is to ultimately give joomla + civicrm the same level of access control permissions as drupal + civicrm. We think this is achievable with the current target (50 hours). Your below use case is possible with drupal today and hence should be possible at the end of the project. Once this is funded, we'll file an issue and scope the project in more detail

Note that we will be doing this only for J! 1.6 and try to integrate the higher level permissions with J! ACL's
