CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Dear Community,
I need to know if its possible to do the following: we're setting up a system where teachers track student's participation in extra-curricular events using the 'Activities' module. The system requirements are such:

• Students must be able to login and only be able to see their own record (not a problem with Drupal Access Permissions)
• Students must not be able to edit their own details in Drupal, their contact information, or create activities in CiviCRM
• Students must be able to be imported into Drupal + CiviCRM via a batch process

Possible Solutions?

• User is imported to drupal via an Import module - and a contact is not automatically created in CiviCRM
• Perform import process twice - once for drupal users, another for CiviCRM contacts
• Allow students to see everyone's records

OR

• User is created in Drupal, which automatically creates a contact in CiviCRM - (Can we collect the name user's First and Last Name for the CiviCRM profile at the time of user creation?)
• Find a way to ensure that user is unable to edit their own record/add additional activities

Thank you very much in advance for helping me think through my problem.

Hi there lobo,
I suppose the two questions that emerge are:

Is it possible to not create a new user without having a new individual automatically generated in CiviCRM?

Separately:

Is it possible to prevent a user from editing their own individual record?
