How do I allow contacts in a certain group to edit their own contact info.

How do I allow members of a group to update their own contact info, when they go to their "My account" page on the drupal site.

(eg As an administrator I can see "» View Contact Record" in the my account page. How can I make that link available to drupal users, who are part of a civiCRM contact group)

You might want to use CiviCRM Profile  to allow drupal users to update their information in CiviCRM.

By marking Used For: "View/Edit User Account" in a profile's settings - the contact fields you include in the profile will be editable from the user's My Account area. This is one good way of accomplishing the above.

I've created a profile and it is visible for Drupal users as a tab on their "my account" page.

What I really need is a different profile depending on what group the CiviCRM contact (matching the drupal user) is part of.

eg: When a staff member goes to his my account page, he will see a tab that's only visible for staff members.

Alternatively you could remove the profile from My Account, and create a separate Profile for each group. Then permission the profile to the group using ACLs... and finally use Drupal permissioning to (or perhaps a CiviCRM hack?) to include a link / menu item pointing to the appropriate Profile for the logged in user >> "Update my information".
