Let's say Operator A belongs to an Operator Group that has Edit rights to Contact Group A.  He selected a few contacts from Contact Group A and put them into a new group, say New Group, for future mailing.  But since there is no ACL that binds Operator Group to New Group, Operator A is not able to see the group that he/she has just created.  How can we resolve that?  If not, how can we allow operator to set up mailing groups for their own use?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Lobo for the quick response.  I think we will try to implement the post hook.

Just curious, isn't this a common usage situation?  Where the user has to put contacts into groups before he/she can send mass email to them.  But with ACL defined to control what group(s) this user can access, this cannot happen unless we - do as you suggested - add a post hook to dynamically grant access right of this newly created group to the user group.

Thanks!

eggtart - drupal or joomla?
if drupal may be worth looking at what you can do by bringing OG in to the mix since it gives you flexibility on who can set up Groups, and if using the OG - Group synch, each OG gets an equivalent civi group with ACL all set up.
Don't have the exact recipe for you but may be a workaround worth exploring.

sweet OG D6 and D7 are way different beasts - and D7 v 2 is getting closer which will shake things up again.

maybe want to update your forum profile for cms and versions ;-)

r u saying 4.x is slower?
