Using SugarCRM as a Email Marketing Platform-- backdraws..

[hdanielb]

I am trying to set up SugarCRM CE (5.5.4) as a platform for email marketing.

I've created a profile, for Email Marketing Users, disabling every other module, that is not related directly with email campaigns, and additionally, letting users make most of their actions over owned items, in order for each user to work individually.

I found, that even if email templates are not allowed to be listed or edited for this profile or role, when you enter a campaign you own, and set up an email for that campaign, there is a dropdown menu, where, all the email templates, can be listed, and, if pressed "edit", you can enter tiny editor.

At this point, you can edit, and play with the template, but cannot save it. When you try to save, a warning telling "you don't have permission" is shown.

I think this should not happen... It would be good to mark email templates as private in some way in order not to be seen.

This point made desist in trying to use SugarCRM CE as a potential platform for email marketing, in an environment of independent users...

I think is not very practical trying to set up a new platform for each email marketing user.. Yet, I really think that is a good starting point to sell the application to individuals, or small business in growing.

Something in somebody's mind about this? Ideas would be appreciated....
