CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Site has number of events open for public registration. A new event being set up should only be available to a limited group.

Drupal permissions for all roles have "register for events" unchecked.

In CiviCRM:
1) I set up an Access Role: Members
2) assigned Members group to the ACL role
3) Set up 2 ACls where everyone can Edit (register) for all events AND another ACL where only Members can register for the new (member-only) event.

It appears that there is no way of prioritizing which ACL is evaluated first and therefore the more open ACL wins (everyone for all events).

Is there a way to keep general events open to public but selectively disable access to specific events?

Hello Slovak,

I would suggest setting up an ACL for each event as you create it. This would replace the need for "umbrella" ACLs that cover all events. For instance, when you create an event, you can set it up so that only members can view or register(edit) for an event. If the event is Public, set editing it to Everyone. As events cycle through, simply delete the necessary ACL.

It may take a few minutes to fit ACLs to your current Events, but you will have the Access control you are looking for.

Cheers,
Jason
