Hi,

I will have various people working on contacts in their own country. I would like to restrict what they see and can change, eg. a french guy will only be able to see the contact in France.

They way I understand it is that you have to create two groups per country, one "french contacts", the other "french workers" (they can be smart groups) and you grant to french workers the right to see contacts in the french contact.

Is this the correct way of doing it ?

Moreover, I'd like to be able to restrict what they can/can't do on the activities, eg. I'd like that only some can send emails. Is this possible directly ? Assuming that it isn't, I would like to modify some templates and not put the "send email" link, or take some mass emailing actions off. Is this possible to test in the templates if the connected user belongs or not to a group ?

Thanks in advance,

Xavier

how many countries do you want to implement the below for? if more than 5-10, i would recommend using acl hooks (that way you can avoid the explosion of groups (2 per country))

check: http://civicrm.org/node/381

If you want to do it via the UI, your description sounds right. The only issue is "french workers" needs to be a static group

To edit the links on the page, you will need to modify: templates/CRM/Activity/Form/ActivityLinks.tpl. You can use php code in the templates via the {php} tag (check the smarty manual for details). Ideally we should put ALL the links in the hookLinks array and then the 'hook' implementation can add / delete the links. Can you please file an issue and we'll fix this for 2.3

(maybe even 2.2.1, if the changes dont seem to much
