Hi I want to do something similar as rule two in this case (short example - it's a good read):
http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC40/United+States+National+Committee+for+UN+Women

In my case I have schools instead of chapters.
I have aprrox. 200 schools, and each student in the system have a student-school relationship (schools are organizations, students are individuals).
There will be an appointed admin (a student) on each school, who needs to be able to view and edit the other students from the admin's own school.

Now instead of making 200 groups, one for each school, and assign the admin to thee group corresponding to her relationship, I would like to make just one group, say "schooladmins". Students who are placed in this group then get their edit rights based on their student-school relationship.

How would I go about doing that? Is it "easy" to do with hooks, or is it already possible in Civicrm? I would love if it was possible with ACL's but I don't see/get it.

Best regards
/Anders:)

Yes, this should be doable with the acl hooks:

http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC40/CiviCRM+hook+specification#CiviCRMhookspecification-Permissionrelatedhooks

Basically u'll need to add a query clause, which finds the school that the logged in user is an "admin of" and then include all the students who have a "student of relationship with the school. The example on the wiki will help you get started.

Ping us on IRC if u need any help with the code
