CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Dear all

After reading through the wiki and the online book, I'm still lost about how to control access to content via groups and memberships.

I'm building our church website using Drupal, civicrm. There are two main types of users: the church workers and the church members. The workers are grouped into functional groups such as Admin, Outreach, Pastors, Senior Pastors and etc, while the members are classified into memberships: temp members, life-time members, past members and etc.

I'd like to configure civicrm so that users see only what they are allowed to see. For example, temp members wont see anything after login, senior pastors see the contribution, admin sees civievents.

What is the best approach to achieving this? Appreciate any pointers on docs and methods.

Much much thanks!
