Is there a way to limit a user to adding Activities only?
There is a list of custom activities to help track communications with contacts. So could someone  be allowed to add "Left Message about ....." but not allowed to edit the contact?
Thanks

I made a drupal module to hide items from users in a group. This not a secure solution this is more for workflow reasons.
What it does
1. Hide the edit and delete button on the contact view pane
2. Hide the edit button on search results
3. Hide all actions in the Search results the client did not want.

you can download it here.

Still work to be done and no admin panel but you can edit the files they are only a couple of lines.

here are a couple

sorry this is the action menu after doing a search

In 2.2, you should be able to achieve the same result using the searchTasks hook

basically your module can hide various actions based on the user role (or any other attribute)

these two hooks dont address the security aspects of it. They just modify the view of the page
