Import and ACL
June 19, 2012, 07:44:03 pm
How can I control what group the contacts are imported to?

Scenario
- Group A and B
- ACL setup such that Group A admin can view/edit/create contacts for Group A only, and Group B admin can view/edit/create contacts for Group B only.
- If I allow Group A admin to import contacts, he/she can potentially assign the contacts to Group B

Is there anyway to avoid that?  Theoretically, one can only import contacts to groups which one has Create right to.

Thanks!

Sorry, I may have asked the question incorrectly.

The situation is like this
- Operator A has only View rights to Group 1 but have Edit rights to Group 2
- If we allow A to do import, he/she will see both Group 1 and Group 2 in his/her destination group list
- IE, he/she can import contacts to a group which he/she has the right to view only.

Thanks!

The view and edit rights are with regard to contacts not groups

In various parts of the code we expose all the groups that the user has some permission on, irrespective of whether it is view or edit

Thanks Lobo.  Guess we will need to hack that part of the code.
