Hi,

Can I have 3 organizations sharing a common user-database, where the users must allow each organization to see/access and contact them.

Options:
- no organization can access my data
- only one organization of my choice can access my data
- one or more organizations of my choice can access my data

I'm using Drupal - and was wondering whether Organic Groups was the answer?

Thanks
Bo

You could potentially do this using some custom code and ACL's

Create three groups, one for each organization. When the user decides to share the information with zero or more of the organizations, add that user to zero or more of the groups. This is the custom code u'll need to add

For each organization create an ACL for the organization and give the organization view/edit rights only to their group above. This ensure that they will only see the contacts that they have been permissioned on

Thanks :-)

One more question:

If a user signs up for two or more organizations - can the organizations view the users activity with the other organizations ex. donations and other interaction?

If true, is it better to create 3 separate databases and synchronize the users contact information, groups and tags across databases when they sign up for an organization? Perhaps I should create a source-database, that copies and updates data to the relevant organizations databases?

Thanks
Bo

Yes. Seems like you want 3 distinct databases that just share name and address
