Civi ACL question - limiting mailing groups in CiviMail
October 23, 2013, 07:41:28 am
I hope someone can shed some light here.

The need is to setup access to CiviMail so that specific users can only send mailings to specific mailing list groups.

Is there a way to do this?

yes, you can do this :)

You basically give users acl permissions to those groups only. Note that you can do this via the UI for a small number of group (< 10?). however if the number of groups is large, i'd recommend using acl hooks

note that this affects all contacts and groups they can see and not just specific to mailings

how?

i can limit the actual contacts someone can see and search for with civi acl management, however I di not see how I can limit which group some can mail to in civimail.

u basically limit the groups a user can see. this in turn is also exposed to civimailing which only displays the groups that the user can see. ping on irc if you want to discuss / walk thru

For those reading it appears that this is indeed a bug present only in Joomla and Wordpress (really wish there was a Joomla testing process in CiviCRM).

Relevant ticket and quick fix (thanks lobo) available here:

http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-13644

nick:

we talked about this at civicon, and we do hope the 30% of folks who use civi + joomla can start contributing back and help with the joomla civi integration. We sorely are lacking developer support for this (and brian s and elin w have been doing an amazing job so far) and we need to get those folks to help and support this integration.

Not meant as criticizing - was more of a wish.

I am helping as much as I can, stumbling between what I think should work, what I try and what I find.
Sometimes I am not sure I am finding a bug or I am just not doing things right.

and just to be clear, i was referring to all of us trying to expand the current joomla + civi group. I think folks like you who are already involved is really great, and we do appreciate it. We just need some collective thinking and maybe arm-twisting to increase the size of the contributor/supporter group :)

thanx for being on top and interacting with the community and the conferences etc. We now need to find 10+ people like you :)
