CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I have a site with a number of CiviCRM profiles set up to be exposed via the user account using the 'View/Edit Drupal user account' setting, but not seen on the user registration page.

On the registration screen the user is enabled to select one or more roles that they wish to adopt on the site, and these are synched to CiviCRM Groups using the roles sync module.

What I want to achieve is a position where only certain of the profiles are visible to the user based on the roles/groups that they have selected at registration. I read that this can done by using CiviCRM's ACLs, in conjunction with the roles sync module. Before I get stuck into this, can anyone confirm that this approach works, and if so, is anyone aware of any useful documentation re: ACLs, as it all seems a bit confusing.

Thanks in advance.

I have a similar issue - so similar, I think, that I'll reply here:

I have 3 different profiles all with the 'View/Edit Drupal user account' ticked - profile a, b and c.
I also have three different drupal user roles: a, b and c.

All three profiles show up on all of the drupal users own pages (www.example.com/user). Drupal user "a" can only edit profile "a", so permissions are set up correctly in that sense. But I would like to hide profile b and c for users with the role a, on their Drupal user page, because it simply looks very bad - for exampel that a student can see a teacher profile on her user page.

How do I hide the profiles that doesn't match the user role / that the user doesn't have access to edit anyway ?

Cheers and thanks in advance !

Uops, my bad, I haven't set anything - the reason user 'a' can only edit profile 'a', is that user a, b and c, are three different contact types.
Thanks for the links and your always quick replies !

@Upperholme: No, I'm not able to hide them, in the sense that the "tab" or links to edit the profile for 'b' and 'c 'are still visible for user 'a', but user 'a' cannot edit them, because she is a different contact type than 'b' and 'c' (civicrm tells her that when she click the tab/link).

What I want to do is hide them. I would be satiesfied to be able to do it with css, but the tabs and links have no class or id tags, so it's not possible.
