Disable "Assigned To"

[andromeda9]

I would like to disable the "Assigned To" option in all modules for all users other than themselves. I don't want them to even see the list. Now, this same question was asked in Jan 2009 (cf http://www.sugarcrm.com/forums/showt...ht=Assigned+To). BUT..

When I lookfor the modules in the custom subdir, there are no modules other than Contacts and Meetings. So, how do I implement the solution provided in the above link. I am using the current version of Sugar CRM community ed.

Thank you

1. remove assigned_user_name from all editviewdefs.php, quickcreatedefs.php and sidecreatedefs.php
2. Create a global logic_hook before_save to fill the assigned_user_id with the $current_user->id.

Cheers

After you customize a module in Studio a folder for that module will appear in the custom tree. So, like Sugardev.net says in that post, you will have to remove the fields. After that you can do the custom programming listed in the last post.

Though, I didn't read through that to see what's up so you're on you own there.

Thanks for the quick response. In step 1, I assume this only removes the ability to assign and not the assingment field. However in 2, with no php experience, I haven't a clue as to what to do. Can you elaboratte for a newbee.

Thanks

You can use the "Edit Logic Hook" module by Marnus van Niekerk. Upload through your module loader and then it will be listed in your administration screen.

Select "Before_save" as the type and "all" as the modules. Then you type in the following:
$bean->assigned_user_id = $current_user->id;

and that's it. You are done. Hope this helps!

Ok, where do I find "Edit Logic Hook"? I did a search on Sugar Forge and the hit described the module but did have a link to download; and, in fact, said there had been 0 downloads. Clearly, this isn't the correct module.

Sorry, it does look like it has been removed. Glad I got it when I did. I attached it for you.

Thanks to all for the advice. BUT, I tried this with the Leeds module for the left sidebar menu and it successfully removed the option to assign a Leed to another user. However, I was a bit too successful and the user cannot create a new Leeds now.

What to do next?

"I tried this with the Leeds module for the left sidebar menu "

Could you explain that?

You might want to start over, undoing what you've done so far. It's good to work on a demo system, of course. Then:

1. Remove the assigned_user field from the EditView in Admin > Studio.

2. Create the before_save logic hook as described above.
