How to control what shows in the search pull down menu.
November 06, 2012, 09:36:48 am
Hi,

I am trying to setup an authorization rule that does the following:

A user that is Authenticated - when they view contact records after a basic search - when they select contact records - I only want them to be able to select email selected contacts, but they have options to add/remove to groups, record activity, etc.

So my question is there a way to remove/constrain what options show in the pulldown after a basic search using the ACL API.

thanks
Corey

you can use the hook_civicrm_searchTasks

will this modification get deleted when one updates their civiCRM installation?


UPDATE: Yes, the answer is yes, this needs to be in its own module.

thx sr. Wolf!

Ok I am a little confused

I am trying to check if the user has the Authenticated Role - I believe.  I assume that is someone logs into Joomla they will get the Authenticated CiviCRM role.
So in the civitest_perm() - How do I check if user has this role?  And will the user_access function still be used to check on that Role?

If I can get some info on this, I think I will be good to go.

Code: [Select]
function civitest_perm () {
return array(
'access add contacts to group search action'
);
}


function civitest_civicrm_searchTasks($objectType, &$tasks ) {
if ( $objectType == 'Contact' ) {
// remove the action from the contact search results if the user doesn't have the permission
if (! user_access( 'access add contacts to group search action' )) {
unset($tasks[1]);
unset($tasks[2]);
unset($tasks[3]);
unset($tasks[4]);
unset($tasks[7]);
unset($tasks[8]);
unset($tasks[11]);
unset($tasks[13]);
unset($tasks[14]);
unset($tasks[17]);
unset($tasks[19]);
unset($tasks[22]);
}
}
}

note that within Civi to a large extent we dont care what CMS role the user has. We just invoke CMS functions to check if this user has a specific permission. thus is joomla we use:

Code: [Select]
    if (defined('_JEXEC')) {
      $permissionStr = 'civicrm.' . CRM_Utils_String::munge(strtolower($str));
      $permission = JFactory::getUser()->authorise($permissionStr, 'com_civicrm');
      return $permission;
    }

u can potentially use something similar within your module or use:

CRM_Core_Permission::check($permissionString);

which does the right thing for all CMS..

Hi,

So one more gap I have - determining the permission string.  If you see attached (which is image of the 'Edit ACL' screen in Civi)

So is my permission string the Description (in this case - Member Access View Contacts)

If this is my permission string - then this should work right?

Code: [Select]
if (! CRM_Core_Permission::check( 'Member Access View Contacts' )) {
unset($tasks[1]);
unset($tasks[2]);
unset($tasks[3]);
unset($tasks[4]);
unset($tasks[7]);
unset($tasks[8]);
unset($tasks[11]);
unset($tasks[13]);
unset($tasks[14]);
unset($tasks[17]);
unset($tasks[19]);
unset($tasks[22]);
}

seems like we are mixing up joomla permissions vs civicrm acl permissions.

civicrm acl permissions are on a specific set of objects (contacts, custom data, profiles, events). So u have permission to access an object or not

joomla permissions are more generic: you have a permission or not

might want to read up a bit from the civicrm book and the joomla manuals
