Permissions for Conference Admin
August 04, 2009, 09:27:29 am
I am trying to set up a permission role for a conference administrator.  I would like this user to be able to view and edit participants for the event.  Right now I have set these permissions in Drupal:
CiviCRM Module
  • access CiviEvent
  • access all custom data
  • edit event participants
  • profile listings and forms
  • register for events
  • view all activities
  • view all contacts
  • view event info
  • view event participants

User Module
  • access user profiles

The user can see the scheduled events and a list of participants, but when they attempt to edit or view the participant they get "Access Denied" message.  Any idea of what I am forgetting to turn on?

Should I being doing some of this in ACL function of CiviCRM?  I have come to understand that this is more for limiting access to data on specific group of contacts.

Also, I would like for this role to not be able to configure the event - but it seems that this fine grained permissions might be in a future release.

Thanks for the help.

I guess you also need "access CiviCRM" permission. Can you add that check if that works.

Thanks so much - it seems simple enough but I did not think of this.

I am following the same settings but this would give the "event administrator" permissions to view all contacts. However without "view all contacts", the event administrator cannot view and edit the event participants.

Is there a way to allow the event administrator rights to event participants only?

You wil have to use ACL's for this. You'll need to create a smart group (or static group) with all the event participants in it. then give access to the event administrator to that specific group only
