CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

First, I’m new to CiviCRM and Drupal.  I am still configuring/tweaking my first site which is scheduled to go to production in two weeks.  We have installed Drupal 7, CiviCRM 4.1.5, and we are using Organic Groups. 

I have added a link for CiviCRM’s User Dashboard (?q=civicrm/user) to Drupal’s default “User  Menu.”  The Drupal theme I’m using places the content of this menu in a secondary menu at the top of the page.  It contains three links:  the CiviCRM Dashboard, Logoff, and “My [Drupal] Account.”

The problem – my new link to the User Dashboard is displayed to the public.  When they click the link, they receive a 403 Error (Access Denied).  The other links in the User Menu are only shown to authenticated users.  After you login, my new link works perfectly.

I’m not really sure why this is happening, but I think it is because Drupal does not recognize the User Dashboard as a restricted page.   

Am I missing a configuration step somewhere? 

Many thanks to for any help!

Thanks!  After a little more research, I am guessing you mean /q=civicrm/contact ?  I do not find anything on the menu called "Contact Dashboard".  (I really am very new to CiviCRM, LOL!)  Unfortunately, this dashboard does not show the type of information we what our members to see.  They should only see personal information -- nothing with totals, etc.

I was looking at the latest version just the other day.  To be honest, I've very confused by the  instructions for upgrading.  A few months ago when we installed CiviCRM, we did install the latest version.  I'll check again.  I did not find this issue on the list.  Thanks for letting me know.

To be honest, I've very confused by the  instructions for upgrading.

it would be good to hear about what was confusing so we can improve the upgrade instructions based on your feedback.

The 4.2.6 upgrade did not fix this problem.  I have discovered that any CiviCRM link fails to be hidden from the public (civicrm, civicrm/contact, civicrm/contact/view, civicrm/user, etc). 

I've set permissions under Drupal's "people --> permissions" for "CiviCRM: access Contact Dashboard" to authenticated users and our membership groups.  This results in authenticated users and members accessing the page, anonymous user receive 403/access denied message -- but the public can see the link.  When I changed this to grant anonymous users access to the Contact Dashboard -- there is no change.  Anonymous users still receive 403 error messages.

Is this the correct place for controlling access to the CiviCRM dashboards? 

Sometimes, my authenticated user receives the following error message when opening the dashboard:

Notice: Undefined index: 3 in _civicrm_member_roles_sync() (line 561 of /home/mysite/public_html/sites/all/modules/civicrm/drupal/modules/civicrm_member_roles/civicrm_member_roles.module).

Thanks!  Yes, that block works perfectly   We were trying to streamline our website's design by reducing that block to a single link in Drupal's User Menu block. 

It sounds like we need to take a different approach.
