I have some profile fields created with the Profile2 module, which creates a main profile containing all the fields.
In the user/%/edit/main path, I see a new tab which displays a form to edit profile fields.

I have also three user roles, ( e.g. role A, B and C), and I want to remove that menu path for the role C. Alternatively, I want to restrict the access to those profile fields by user role.

Can I use the module Profile2 Privacy to achieve the goal?

I've done with hook_process_page() and removed the variable secondary_local_tasks before rendering to the template if the logged-in user is role C. No need additional module.

function mymodule_process_page(&$vars, $hooks){
    global $user;
    if(array_key_exists(6, $user->roles) && arg(0) == 'user' && arg(2) == 'edit'){
        # if user role C, hide profile tab
        $vars['tabs']['#secondary'] = array();
        if(isset($vars['secondary_local_tasks'])){
            $vars['secondary_local_tasks'] = array();
        }
    }
}

I have also tried this from hook_preprocess_page(), but it did not work on the sky theme.

To restrict access to the fileds, I used the module Field permissions to set each field individually for each user role.

  • I have 5 profile fields in the main profile which is tab-grouped in user edit page. After I restricted access to those 5 fields, will the whole tab be thrown away from the user edit page ?

  • Yes, as far as i know is the tab gone then ... but not 100% sure. Just try it out.

  • Unfortunately, the tab was not gone although all fields were disappeared. The form was alone with a save button. I tried to hide the secondary menu local task from hook_preprocess_menu_local_tasks(). It works on seven theme, but not in sky theme.
