access control - restrict a group of users from editing own record
May 07, 2013, 10:40:22 pm
Hi,

Are there any ways that can restrict a group of users from editing own record? By default an authenticated user who have permission "access civicrm" can edit his/her own information on the contact/view page. I want to override this so they can only view the information.

Drupal 7 + Civicrm4.3.2

Cheers,
George

You should be able to do this via a hook and implement permissioning in the buildForm hook for the contact edit page

Also you could not give them "Access CiviCRM" permission and show them their contact dashboard instead.
Try asking your question on the new CiviCRM help site.

Hi,

Thanks for the help. I have managed to get the user's Drupal's Role in the hook_civicrm_buildForm(). But I'm not sure how to change the permission. Could you provide me a little more details on how to do it?

My idea is that
1. get the Role in the hook_civicrm_buildForm()
2. change the pemission to 'view self only' from 'edit self' if the role is "read-only"

Thanks,
George

implement the hook only for the edit form

if the user should not edit the form, set a message in the session

CRM_Core_Session::setStatus

and redirect back o the view page

ping us on irc if u need help
