Access Permissions
July 29, 2008, 07:32:05 pm
I want to create a group we'll call it group1 and then I want a group of people to be able to administer only those contacts so I create group1 admins.

I go to CivicCRM and create a new Role: Administer group1 Then create a new ACL to Edit A Group of contacts and select group1 using the Role group1 admins.

I then assign the group group1 admins to the Administer Group1 ACL role to the Group group1 admins.

Now, what do I have to set for permissions in the Drupal permissions? Access CivicCRM and edit users to Authenticated users ? If I do this will this allow all authenticated users to adminster all users or only Authenticated members of Group1 Admins to admin Group1 users?

Okay, a bit of an update....

I did the above and deleted the "edit all users" and "administer Civicrm" Drupal access controls. I was able to edit all the tabs for just the group members set in the civicrm ACL's except the summary edit button. If I want to add a note or activity etc. I am able to just not edit their address. When I click the edit button under summary I get an error:

Sorry. A non-recoverable error has occurred.

Ok, I figured it out. You have to add the "add a user" to the authenticated role which really shouldn't effect the editing but supposedly it's supposed to get fixed sometime.

Interestingly enough, I was looking through the documentation and the documentation states

Quote
CiviCRM for Drupal includes additional access control features for specific tasks (Administer, Import, etc.), and for component data (contributions, membership, and events). It should be noted that in Drupal you only need to use CiviCRM's ACLs if you wish to control access of certain contacts to certain groups; if you simply want to control the types of data and actions a user can see/perform you can use the Drupal permissions Administer » User Management » Access Control.

By me having to enable Drupal Access to "add user" this doesn't seem to be true. Not for me at least.
