{ts 1=$docLink}ACLs (Access Control Lists) allow you control access to CiviCRM data. An ACL consists of an Operation (e.g. 'View' or 'Edit'), a set of Data that the operation can be performed on (e.g. a group of contacts), and a Role that has permission to do this operation. Refer to the %1 for more info.{/ts} {if $config->userSystem->is_drupal EQ '1'}{ts}Note that a CiviCRM ACL Role is not related to the Drupal Role.{/ts}{/if}

{ts}EXAMPLE: 'Team Leaders' (ACL Role) can 'Edit' (Operation) all contacts in the 'Active Volunteers Group' (Data).{/ts}

{ts 1=$ufAccessURL 2=$jAccessParams 3=$config->userFramework}Use %3 Access Control to manage basic access to CiviCRM components and menu items. Use CiviCRM ACLs to control access to specific CiviCRM contact groups. You can also configure ACLs to grant or deny access to specific Events, Profiles, and/or Custom Data Fields.{/ts}

{ts 1=$config->userFramework}Note that %1 Access Control permissions take precedence over CiviCRM ACLs. If you wish to use CiviCRM ACLs, first disable the related permission in %1 Access control for a user role, and then gradually add ACLs to replace that permission for certain groups of contacts.{/ts}
