Hello,

I have a peculiar problem where I allow anonymous access to register people for my free events. I have setup a custom profile to get name, address and telephone number of users along with their email address. Everything is setup fine and works.

But I faced a problem recently when a person used one of my colleague's email address (actually the one used to send out mass emails) and updated the other details. Now my question would be is there a way to authorise such changes to the DB as at the moment they get updated automatically after a matching email address.

Regards,
Atif

Pretty sure you'll need to change your strict duplicate matching rules to something more strict. I would recommend changing the rule to match on first name AND last name AND email. All three need to match to update a record. If any of the three are different, a new record is created. So even if someone uses someone else's email (which happens a lot), if their names are different, the event registration and data will go in the right place.

This chapter of the CiviCRM book covers duplicate matching and rules: http://en.flossmanuals.net/CiviCRM/ContactsAddingAndImporting

hope this helps
