Access Control, Headers and Automated Mailings
May 01, 2008, 10:01:12 am
Hi All,

We are setting up CiviMail and will have multiple users sending emails. We want them to be able to change and add headers/footers etc. so that they can customise their emails.

However, since only an administrator with full priviledges can do this, we are stuck. We do not wish to grant full admin priviledges to these users but still want them to be able edit only headers/footers etc. Is there a workaround to do this?

Any thoughts will be useful...

thanks and regards
Mohit

In 2.0, you only need access CiviMail and access CiviCRM permission to access the header/footer component. you do not need administer civicrm permission.

Thanks. We were using 1.9. We will try 2.0 and check this...

Warm Regards

the permissions are the same in 1.9. you do not need to upgrade to 2.0 to test this (though upgrading is a good idea!)

Hi Donald,

I tried this and am seeing the same behaviour. I have all CiviCRM access fields (except Admin) enabled for a particular user but that user does not see Headers, Footers etc. in CiviMail.

What could I be missing? I am working on CiviCRM 1.9.13019

Just to update, I am using Drupal Access Controls for users... I hope that will not cause any issues...

I have the same problem, with CiviCRM 4.2 + Drupal 7. Without CiviCRM admin permission, any user can manage mailing header nor footer...
