What is the quickest way to go from CiviCRM Organization to Drupal User who has
July 29, 2007, 06:26:05 pm
permissions to edit their Organization Profile?
I have tried this via the noted process of  CiviCRM export to Drupal User import but the imported users are NOT connected to the Organization.
The goal is this, the Interns are going to enter Organizations and the emails entered for the Org need to relate to the Drupal user.
So when the drupal user logs in they can edit the Organization Profile via My Account in drupal.
I have tried a number of ways.
Seems that this is the best so far
Intern makes drupal user.
They click the masquerade module to become the user they just entered.
Then they click a Organization Profile I made via CiviCRM Profiles.
The profile is created and under "My Account" the masqueraded user now can modify their Organization data as needed.
Then the Intern clicks "Switch Back" to go back to add another drupal user
Bulk imports would be nice but again it seems I may be missing something since I get stuck on trying to link the drupal user to the Organization and NOT the Individual.
Thanks

First, the link between the Drupal User and the CiviCRM Contact record is stored in civicrm_uf_match - and you could potentially manipulate it programmatically after doing a bulk import of organization records ???).

The default CiviCRM behavior for new registration is to create a contact with type = "Individual" when a new Drupal user record is created. There is some code to over-ride this by passing in a "ctype" POST parameter. This functionality is described here:
http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-1375

NB: I don't think this feature has been used much - so it might not work as advertised - but worth playing with given your requirements.
