limit administration by role
September 20, 2009, 02:28:25 pm
Hi folks,

I am trying to configure civi so that certain users (in a given drupal role) can administer a contribution page. But that user group should not have access to any other portion of the civi administration section. I tried to lock civi down through the permissions settings in Drupal, and in order to allow that group to get to the following URL (www.myurl.com/civicrm/admin/contribute?reset=1&action=update&id=1) I have to enable "access civicrm" and "administer civicrm". If either one of these two options are not turned on, that group cannot administer the contribution page. However those two permissions also allow that user group to get to any other section in civi even though I have every other permission disabled in the drupal permission settings. Does someone know how I can ensure that a given user group can manage only a specific contribution page and nothing else? Thanks for your help.

Cheers,
Luis

i dont think the above is possible with civicrm via the UI. You will probably need to modify the code to do so

one option might be to inject a menu item (via xmlMenu hook) that has different permisisoning than what we have specified, and use a drupal based permission for that. You can potentially use a custom permissioning function to give access to a certain set of folks for id=1 and a different set of folks for other ids

ping us on irc if u wanna chat about it

Hi Lobo,

Thanks for the quick response. I think for the time being I will manage the administration as needed and forego any customizations. Thanks again for your helpful suggestions.

Cheers,
Luis
