Smart Group By Drupal User Role
May 06, 2008, 10:50:50 am
Is it possible to create a smart group based on the Drupal user role of a contact's corresponding user?

You can create a Smart Group for all contacts who have a Drupal User Account (from Advanced Search - select "CMS User?" = Yes ...). But you can't do it by Drupal Role.

I'm remembering that there might be a synchronization mechanism between Organic Groups and Drupal Roles - if so that might be useful as you can synch OG's to CiviCRM groups using the og_synch module ???

in 2.0, you can also create a custom search that allows you to search for civicrm users by drupal role. you can save that as a smart group

Sanil, There is no correlation between Drupal Roles and CiviCRM ACL Roles. They are completely different things.

...provides sync from CiviMember to Drupal Role, but that may not be what you want to do.

If you can write code, you could use the CiviCRM API & Drupal hooks to put a user into corresponding groups based on role.

Otherwise, you can hire a Professional Services provider to implement something with the exact features you need:
