Automating User Group Assignment Based on Market Type Selection in Dolibarr

[mehmetdogandev]

Feature Request

Description:
In Dolibarr, assigning users to appropriate market groups (e.g., Domestic Market or International Market) based on the selected Market Type is a crucial feature for businesses operating in multiple regions. Currently, this process requires manual intervention, which increases the risk of human error and inefficiency.

Problem Statement:
When creating or modifying a user in Dolibarr, there is no built-in functionality to automatically assign them to a corresponding user group based on their selected market type. This results in:

Extra manual work for administrators.
Potential misclassification of users.
Inconsistency in role-based permissions within different market categories.
Proposed Solution:
To enhance efficiency and reduce administrative overhead, we propose implementing an automated user group assignment mechanism. When a user selects a Market Type (e.g., Domestic Market or International Market), they should be automatically assigned to the relevant group in Dolibarr.

Implementation Options:
1️⃣ Database Trigger (Backend Approach)

A SQL trigger could be implemented to automatically update the llx_usergroup_user table when a user’s market type is updated.
2️⃣ Dolibarr Hooks (Native Integration Approach)

A new hook (e.g., formObjectOptions) could be added to listen for market type changes and dynamically assign users to the appropriate group.
3️⃣ AJAX-Based Automation (Frontend Approach)

Using JavaScript and AJAX, the system could instantly assign the user to a group upon selection without requiring a page refresh.
Business Impact:
✔ Time-saving: Eliminates repetitive manual work for administrators.
✔ Data Consistency: Ensures users are always correctly classified.
✔ Improved Permission Control: Automatically applies correct access rights based on market segmentation.
✔ Scalability: Supports businesses operating across multiple markets.

Request:
We request that the Dolibarr development team consider implementing this feature as a core functionality in future releases. This automation would greatly benefit companies that manage different market structures and streamline user management within Dolibarr.

Looking forward to your feedback and consideration! 🚀
