Hide activities using ACL?
February 26, 2013, 07:25:08 pm
Is it possible to hide a contact's activities from a specific ACL?

I suspect not as I have the following settings:

  • Drupal's permission "view all activities" unchecked for authenticated users
  • An ACL which can view only those in a certain group

but users in that ACL can view all activities of those in their group.

However, this seems to contradict the general rule highlighted here:
"A user can view an activity only if they have ACL permissions to see each of the source, target, and assignee contacts"

Am I missing something?

There is no specific acl support for activities

the indirect rules for what activities are displayed for a contact via an ACL have changed due to scaling issues with lots of activities. I dont remember offhand the exact rules used now

however there is a proposal (by eileen) to make the schema a lot lot more scalable (i.e. merge all activity contacts into one table). however this is unfunded and hence stalled. we expect this to be a 30-60 hour project, but will definitely scale a lot better than what we currently have

I have used a combination of template customization and hooks for this use case:

Quote
We want to introduce a sensitive activity type, where only the special consultants can see the details or attachments. Other employees should be able to see that there is an activity but not the details

Created groups for this, and only members of the groups or administrators can view details and attachments. Non-members of the groups see a remark "please contact the consultant to discuss the details of this activity".
