I have created two group content-types( named Group and NP-group), and I would like to be able to have different default permissions set for each of them. I realize that it is possible to manually set the permissions on a per group basis already, but would like to know if it is possible to do on a by content-type basis.

+1 it would make sense to be able to have default permissions not only per individual group, but allow for defaults per group type(setting the same perms/roles for each individual group of a specific group type would be tedious and not make any sense if they are all intended to be the same per group type). This is also much more flexible. You would have 3 levels of controlling roles/perms: global, per group type, per group.

I also posted the same on this issue as well in organic groups create permissions: http://drupal.org/node/1109934

I would also like to see this. I have an educational site, and have multiple group types. ie: class/team/program etc. which all have different permissions configured. I would like to be able to add more of each group type and have them all use permissions appropriate for the group type.

A hard one -- I need to think about it, or if your a coder please help in thinking how to do it, even from a UI stand point, how would you configure it, and how will it be reflected in the internals of the system?

This is how I imagine the UI would look:

(On the configuration page: /admin/config)

  • Organic groups membership types
  • Organic groups field settings
  • Organic groups global roles and permissions
  • Organic groups settings

Then inside the Organic groups global roles and permissions would be:

Group type 1

Group type 2

Then, the roles and permissions set for each group type would be applied to all new groups of that type

Well, that's how I imagine it anyway. I wish I were a coder so that I could help more. :(

I know this is an old issue, but I'm having the same problem as zarkinfrood - I have created an additional content type to be treated as a group, I can see the link to edit its permissions at admin/config/group/permissions, but when I click the link, nothing happens. Was this never implemented?
