Roles - Can a admin role edit a user info?

Hi,

A quick role question. I am building a volunteer database for a charity. I have a role for volunteers and a role of Medical Director.

A volunteer enters if they have an allergies or medical info.

A user with role Medical Director has a page that highlights any volunteers with medical or allergies, and there are two fields that the volunteer can see but not edit (notes and a multiple choice review status).

My plan was to allow the medical director to then change the review status multiple choice from ‘review pending’ to ‘revied - ok’ - and to enter any notes in the volunteers notes section. e.g. reviewed on date etc.

I have build the pages that allow users to see all the notes and enter their details, and a medical directors page to view and edit, but I can’t seem to work out how to allow a user with role of ‘medical director’ to add notes and change the multiple choice of the user - these fields sit under the volunteer role.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

thanks

Andrew

Hi Andrew,
From your description, what you have to do is to:

  1. Create a table where you choose all the allergies and medical info records to show all the’ records (you should not choose records that are connected to the logged-in volunteer).
  2. Add an edit button to that table.

All this should be on the medical directors page
Let me know if you have any questions

Hi,

Thanks for this, it seemed like i was missing something as i’m sure i done similar before. I deleted the edit and view tabs from the table, re added them and sure enough i could edit the record. I suspect i deleted a form on the edit page whilst trying to get styling right, added it a form and it lost the connection from the previous table, so thanks for the nudge!

Cheers

Andrew
