Am curious as to which products give you fine grained permission control at the contact level. Links to the documentation for such products would be great.

A google search on 'crm record-level permissions' yields some results.

CivicCRM is an amazing product in many aspects, and I do not mean in any way to diss it.
However, it is not perfect  8)

More than such and such features, what is needed for us is an out-of-the-box solution. the requirement for custom development for what can be perceived as core fuctionalities is therefore a problem for us.

we are far far away from perfect and all of us know it :) (or so i hope)

however, links to actual docs would be a bit better, since u r doing comparisons of products with similar features

Its an EVALUATION. not end user training or acceptance testing. You are checking for how close a match things are etc ..

It's not a  'let's get an it guy toy around and come with a recommendation' evaluation.
It's a 'let's have one department use it for a couple months in actual work and see whether this can be used for the whole enterprise or it's a waste of time' evaluation.

Please not that we don't require as a feature to have a per record access list.
The problem is more that it's either users cannot create groups anymore, or all users that can create groups can also modify what users are affected to what ACLs because this is done via groups.

If I could code, I'd happily try to implement a permission to restrict acces to ACL groups to admins.
