Brian,

In terms of trying to control access to user profiles I would consider using Node Profile (http://drupal.org/project/nodeprofile) if you are using D6.

In terms of contact forms I would consider wiring a module to handle this by looking at the OG group(s) of the various users and evaluating access. Another thing to consider is a webform method.

These are just thoughts but there may be better ways.

Thanks, Steve

Greetings,

I'm trying to setup a site where the defining feature for users is groups. It's straightforward to use OG to assign content to groups, but (beyond content access) most user functions still orient around users' roles. Is it possible in a reasonable manner to reduce this focus on the role and assign things like profile visibility and user contacting permissions based on groups?
