Menu items showing for anonymous users and they have no CiviCRM access
April 01, 2009, 08:56:24 pm
I have set up a totally private CiviCRM site.  Anonymous users have no CiviCRM access rights whatsoever.  I created two menu items:  one to manage a profile (http://<my site url>/civicrm/profile/edit?reset=1&gid=N) and one to search contacts (http://<my site url>/civicrm/profile?reset=1&gid=3).  When I log out of the site both menu items remain.  Clicking on them causes an error because anonymous users don't have the proper permissions.  I'm fairly new to CiviCRM and Drupal, but since most menu items disappear if the current user doesn't have permission for the action specified, I thought these menu items would disappear as well.  What am I doing wrong?

i assume u r creating menu items via drupal's menu manager? if so, you'll need to control the display and visibility there. we dont have any control of what happens for manually created menu items

All I can do with manually created menu items is enable or disable them.  I need to enable them based on role or user.  Any thoughts?

not too drupal savvy, you might want to check the drupal web site to see if there are helper modules that do what you need

In Drupal, every menu is also a block. So you need to go to <yoursite>/admin/build/block and find the block that corresponds to the menu you created. Click on configure and under "role specific visibility settings" you can control which roles can view the block. Just select authenticated user but not anonymous users and you'll be fine.

hope this helps

I wanted the items to be on the primary menu which apparently is not a block and besides I only wanted to restrict access to two out of six items on the primary menu.  But thanks for the info Tony.  I guess I'll have to move those two items to their own block, restrict access to the roles I want and install the new block on one of the sidebars.  I would have liked them on the primary menu however, so if there's a way to do that I'd love to know about it.

Oh, I see what you mean now. You may want to try this module: http://drupal.org/project/menu_per_role

I haven't used it myself but may work for you.
