Looking to do similar to this post, which discusses Drupal, but in Joomla.
Need for an organization's primary contact to be able to manage the organizations contact info, as well as manage (add/delete/change) members of that organization "employee of".
Post refers to the Drupal OG Synch module - is there a way to do the same in Joomla?  Having a contact automatically put in a group that goes into an "access control group"?

Seen several posts where admins are trying to do something similar to this.  it would be greatly helpful if a solution could be provided.

Thanks,

I'm actually having that same need, as I need a user who has relationship rights to edit their employer(s) org record to be able to see the user dashboard for the Organization, rather than themselves on the frontend. I made some modifications to the user dashboard code that checks via the API  and changes the user context accordingly.

I had a number of custom field sets assigned to the organization which needed to be frontend-editable as well. This has been accomplished using the API and some custom templating. Once this project is done in a few days, I may be able to pull some of this code together as an example. What I've not figured out yet is if it would be possible to make this proxy admin capability an option via hooks, rather than having to rely on the custom templates.
