CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

We are scaling up by using some volunteers to manage programmes - for that they need access to the CRM, but only to those contacts we give them access to, not the entire database - however we would encourage them to add their own contacts...

Drupal permissions: we have allowed add contacts and nothing else...

Through ACL they have edit rights to a group of contacts.

Now the issue -

They can add a contact, and if they remember to select the group they have access to, then they can work with the contact - but civicrm only checks for duplicates within the group and not against the whole database -

So we either have to create new contacts for them or de-dupe all the time, either way it is an admin task we'd like to avoid.

Any ideas anyone?
