Add users to Express Objects
Permalink
Hi
I'd like to be able to create an Express object called Organisation, and then for each organisation entry to be able select different users for the people in that organisation. Therefore the user can then login and update their own profile which then can be displayed as appropriately under the organisation entry. I can't see that this is possible with the current features for Express? ie I assume to make this possible will require coding rather than simply associating via the Express Object forms.
Has anyone done what I'm after above, or have any helpful suggestions? It feels like the natural thing to be able to do in joining a few dots. I was looking for a user select attribute an an alternative option.

Very helpful, I will make a comment at Github. It’s good to know I’d mot missed something and that it’s just not readily possible at the moment.
Interesting thread. I'm trying to achieve something similar. I see this is progressing on GitHub, but in the meantime does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to tie Express objects to members.
Ideally I'd like to limit access to Express objects by user group.

I can't help on that front I'm afraid. I've been a user of Proforms on 5.6 and really benefited from the variety of custom attributes that it provide such as the multi user select, price, price total attributes. I do like Express and it's really helpful, but can't wait for a few more attributes to help expand it's potential.
I think handling logins and profile updates might be a better fit for users, user groups, and permissions.
There is currently no user attribute selector, but there is a GitHub feature request for it. I recommend giving the issue a thumbsup and a comment showing your interest.

With a user attribute selector, you could potentially create an organization, then associate the concrete5 users that way.
