Drupal 7.x

I have a situation where a user will be able to drill down to a list of users via a view. For example the view might return all users located in a certain city and state combination. I would like the user to then be able send a message to all users returned in that view. 

That is compose one contact message and send it to all of the users instead of having to contact each one individually. Is there a way to do this without custom code?

Thank you for any insight. 

What I am trying to achieve is as below :-

there is a content type Article

There are two roles

Author

& Content Editor.

If user is

Scenarios 1)

Authenticated and doesn't have any role, it should have Permission to Article : create new article

Scenario 2)

Authenticated and have only Content Editor Role, it Should have Permission to Article : create new article

Scenario 3)

Authenticated and have Author & Content Editor Role, user should NOT have Permission to Article : create new article

Hi,

Looking for some suggestions on the best way to approach this.

I have a content type called project, these projects should allow bidding, the bidding will basically be a form that gets filled out. I was thinking of using webform for this and attaching the form to the node somehow, maybe a node reference field?

I will need to show in a view the bids for each project also, I haven't done this with webform previously, that is I haven't shown webform submissions in views and to then also filter by the node in which it was filled out with is the other challenge,

Hi i was wondering if there is a module or other way to track files that have been changed.

We had an incident where malicious code was added to files i like to prevent and track if it happens again.

Mostly fake ico files etc the nex index.php files where easy to spot :)

Any suggestions are welcome.

Info:

Drupal: 7.59 

Running on with a hosting so i have no/limited shell access.

I have applied all security recomendations that i could find neverteless i am open for suggestion on those as well.

I'm working on a rule in D7, when a new content is saved a new user is created based on the email provided in the form. This works fine.

I expected that the provided variable user_witness_one_id will provide the user ID via the data selector user-witness-one-id:uid (rules module changes the underscore_ in variables to hyphen-). But it turned out after days of testing that user-witness-one-id:uid returns nothing (i.e. null) so the add/set a variable I have there leaves first_witness_id as null.
