I pushed a topic here that has not yet been solved in the forum and that affects our organizations:

http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php?topic=29381

Managing ACLs is really heavy and is very inefficient to have to grant and maintain permissions one to one to a set of groups that in fact hang from a parent group.

Has anyone encountered the same trouble?

  • Could you phrase this in the form of a single, clear question?

    I've just found that this is still (4.7.24) the case: If you assign an ACL Role access to contacts in a parent group it will not apply to contacts in the child group. Would be a very helpful feature!

I've encountered the same problem - and solved it by implementing a multi-site configuration and installing the Multisite Permissioning extension.

This may not be appropriate for your setting, it may create more trouble than it solves, but in our case it was very helpful.

    Thanks Jon, but for us it creates more trouble than it solves, especially because it would add much complexity to the already heavy definition of ACLs. Anyway I guess if it has not been able to respond to an issue like this is partly due to the complexity involved in developing a solution for this.
