Site-wide roles and permissions for users in groups

Organic Groups 7.x-2.x allows site builders to configure site-wide roles and permissions applying to users in any group on the site.

Site-wide roles can be configured on the page Administration > Configuration > Organic groups > OG roles overview.

Site-wide permissions can be configured on the page Administration > Configuration > Organic groups > OG permissions overview.

Group-specific roles and permissions for users in groups

Additionally, Organic Groups 7.x-2.x allows site builders to override roles and permissions on a per-group basis.

The first time, go to Administration > Configuration > Organic groups > OG field settings, select your Group bundle, select the "Group roles and permissions" field, and click "Add field".

Then, for each group in which you'd like to customize roles and permissions:

  1. Go to a group's Edit tab, change the "Group roles and permissions" field value to "Override default roles and permissions", and click "Save".
  2. Go to the group's Group tab, and change group-specific roles and permissions.
