Fields just visible for the owner user
April 05, 2013, 03:05:01 am
Hi,

I am configuring a civiCRM instance with Drupal to make a contact manager for an international organization. There is one field that is quite sensitive (payment state) so it should only be visible to the user related to that contact and the administer user. Every other information of the contacts will be public. Is there any way of doing this?

Thanks,

Lucía

Have you looked at CiviCRM's ACLs?  Try

* remove the permission of normal users to see all custom data
creating the custom field in its own custom data set and restricting viewing of that custom data set to a civicrm group which contains the administrator that you want * to look at it.
* assigning permission to view other custom data fields as appropriate

An alternative to check, since making ACLs to block everyone out, and hence having to set up ACLs to let others see all the other fields, would be to add the 'sensitive' data as a 'private Note'
