Using Global catagories -Resolved

[Detox]

Can someone tell me if the following is possible?

I have two divisions (div-1 ; div-2) Each has its own groups (offices)

I would like to make a “firewall” between div-1 and div-2 so neither can see the other in any part of EGW.

So horizontally, div-1 and div-2 will not know the other exists but

vertically, div-1 can see and interact with all groups assigned to it and the same would be true for div-2.

Right now I have all offices (groups) built, with ACL rights for supervisors to see specific groups, and all groups are visible (just not accessible based on ACL).

So can I create separate “entities” that have their own hierarchy, and these “entities” would not be able to see any other?

Thanks for any input

Group specific global categories exist in EPL, but not in community 1.8.

Thanks for any input

Your welcome

I suggest you have noncommittal call with our sales team. They can
inform you about the benefits and feature differences between EPL and 1.8.

Ralf,

Thanks for the information. It is not “info I don’t want to hear”. I always ask questions here looking for the truth regardless of what it may be. So your answer is exactly what I needed to hear.

What I will do is keep the current configuration of all groups built “horizontally” and assign “oversight” to multiple groups by select folks on supervisor roles so they can access the data if needed.

I will also contact the sales department and see what kind of price they can give for a non-profit agency. If we can afford it when the next fiscal year comes in, then I’ll purchase to get all the “bells n whistles”.

Thanks for the help

Group specific global categories exist in EPL, but not in community 1.8.

Does the group-specific global category limit searching to items within this category only,
when applied to:

• infolog
• addressbook
• resources
• knowledge base
• (maybe calendar but we don’t use it to such extent yet)

Also would this limit the categories the user can see under the above applications, to whatever
is allowed for his group?

(sales/crm/ground team split in 2 geographic parts, still wanted to run it from one server)

Kind Regards,
Lukasz
