Hi all
I'm at my wit's end trying to work the privacy settings for OG to make it function in the way that my client requires.
If anyone has any experience with this, I would really appreciate your help, as I've already spent hours trawling the Drupal site and testing various modules.
What my client wants is:
We have two user roles - Rookie and Pro
- Pro members are able to create and view both Public and Private groups
- Rookie members are able to create and view Public Groups only
- Anon users can only view public groups, but can't join
- Rookies can potentially be invited into Private groups by a Pro
The problem with the basic settings provided by OG, is that I can't grant various permissions for creating groups.
I've created the "Groups" node type and "Groups-Private", but the OG settings are all or nothing, not defined for each group type.
The main modules I've been testing are:
- og_defaults (great, but not ready for a production site - still very buggy)
- og_privacy (couldn't quite work this one out)
- og_access_roles
- og_abt
- og_joinrole (all or nothing)
- content_access
If anyone can suggest a selection of modules that would help solve this for me, please let me know.
As much as I've been searching all the og modules, perhaps there is one I've missed?
Thanks
Inky

Would you not be able to set
Would you not be able to set permissions about OG in the permissions, under User management?
Use some of Open Atrium's Features?
Hi Inky
I've just started using Open Atrium, and had a look at the modules they use. I'm not 100% certain that this will solve your OG issues, but it might give another option?
So "Organic Group Access Control" (comes with OG) doesn't give you what you need, and I see og_access_roles is meant to give you finer permissions (but not enough for your requirements). Hmmm.
Atrium has "U Create" and "U Create / OG Integration". Allows non-admins to create accounts for other people and sign up users to OG Groups when creating them? Maybe this might add the right ingredient?
Have you seen http://drupal.org/project/og_user_roles ?
Sorry, not very helpful.
