Field Group Roles

Field Group Roles grants access to Field Groups in entity creation and edit forms based on user roles. Access to Field Groups is granted by implementing a Field Group machine name naming convention that includes a Field Group Roles indicator and a user role indicator. Field Group Roles allows multiple user roles to interact with distinct portions of entity creation and editing forms to facilitate complex, multi-party content creation and management for uses such as: registration workflows, content publishing workflows, multi-party content categorization, administrative content editing tasks.

USAGE: This module relies on Field Group. Download, install & enable the field_group_roles module. When configuring node or entity fields, create a new Field Group for which you want only a specific user role to have access. Use the Field Group machine name naming convention below for your Field Group's machine name.

group_fgr_[user_role]

The [user_role] portion should reflect the name of the user role for which you want to grant access to the Field Group. It should be lowercase, with underscores instead of spaces.

For example: To create a Field Group only accessible by the role "Student Teacher", use the following machine name: group_fgr_student_teacher.

NOTE: Drupal's default administrator role has access to all form fields, regardless of Field Groups using Field Group Roles.
