Data segregation on portal

It's not possible via the admin UI. It requires manually defining links and a link-multiple field in metadata.

May I ask if there are any plans to address this issue in a future ESPOCRM update, perhaps by allowing it to be configured through admin settings?

Hi,

I’m trying to implement portal-specific access control for the Case entity in EspoCRM, similar to how it’s done for KnowledgeBaseArticle (as seen in Espo\Modules\Crm\Classes\Select\KnowledgeBaseArtic le\AccessControlFilters\Mandatory).

In the KnowledgeBaseArticle implementation, a relation like knowledgeBaseArticle_portal is used to filter records based on portalId. However, in my case, I’m unable to create any link (relationship) between the Case entity and the Portal entity via the admin UI or field manager. When trying to add a link or foreign field, the Portal entity does not appear as a target option. This prevents me from creating a join table like case_portal to replicate the access control logic from KnowledgeBaseArticle.

Could you please clarify:

• Is there a restriction or limitation preventing the Portal entity from being linked to other entities?
• Is there an alternative recommended approach to establish portal-specific filtering for entities like Case?

Thanks!

I think yes. You can have the same class but define it in metadata for every needed entity type.

Do i need to do code for all the objects? or is there any possibility to apply it across all the objects/data?

Hi,

It requires a bit of coding.

Example for KB Article that uses the Portal field:

https://github.com/espocrm/espocrm/blob/9.0.8/application/Espo/Modules/Crm/Resources/metadata/selectDefs/KnowledgeBaseArticle.json#L6
