I'm using CiviCRM 4.5.8 and WordPress. I want people to only access the data for their state. I was going to use ACL to do that. I set up a smart group for Wisconsin, but there's no check box for Access Control. I can only check Mailing List. What's up with that? Thanks in advance!

According to a 2007 forum post by Donald Lobo (a CiviCRM founder): For efficiency purposes the acl role needs to be assigned to a static group.
Perhaps the CiviRules Extension will allow you to add your users to a static group(?)

I saw that 2007 post when I was googling this. I just wondered if anything had changed since then? I'll check out that extension...thanks!– jimcristOct 4, 2015 at 19:57

In fact, I think it does work! I found it helpful to follow the steps found here: issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-15662– jimcristOct 5, 2015 at 14:58
