CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hi there,

On our site, me divided members to segments and decided to grant permission to view certain parts of  the site only to paying members. So I created a few member roles to take account of the permissions of each membership type.

We are using CiviContribution and CiviMember to sign up new members, and I would very much like to automatize the process of changing the Drupal roles when the members become paying members. Currently we have to check when a new member joins, and change his or her role by hand.

I am new to CiviCRM, and I read a bit about Access Control, Smart Groups, etc. They have interesting uses, but I didn't see any usecase that changes the Drupal role based on the Membership Type of a contact, which gets changed when a member signs up. Is there a feature that can do that? Can you give me any recommendations about implementing it?

thanks,

check the module: civicrm_member_roles

it does what you want

You mean this?

http://drupal.org/project/civimember_roles

It says that it will be available natively in CiviCRM 2.1.2+. But I couldn't find it anywhwere from the Administer console. Is there a wiki page that explains how to use this module?

Since I'm in documentation mode with the book and all, I thought I would write up something on the wiki for this powerful module.

check it out: http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/CiviMember+Roles+Sync

Hope it helps
