I Need Web Based Contact Management Script

Agents see their own contacts. Admin sees all contact

I am putting together a site and I need to have the following scenario:

Admin and agents can login to separate accounts.

I want the Admin. to input and update forms daily. The admin will assign each form to a specific agent.

When each agent logs in I want them to see only those forms that were assigned to them. Each agent must also be able to add notes and updates to their forms which will be viewable by the admin

Who can recommend a good script or program to accomplish this?

What sort of info do the agents need to record?

Could you use a CRM (Customer/Constituent Relationship Management) package?

For example, CiviCRM [civicrm.org] integrates with joomla and drupal.

Some CMS either natively or with add-ons let you control access to individual pages. You could create a content type that is edited via a form and then control access to the pages. In drupal you would do this via CCK+Contemplate+some access control module. In ModX you would do it with template variables (not sure about access control).

I don't think either of those latter systems would really be what you want (really oriented toward content editing), but I suspect there are some things out there that would be pretty good.

Each agent will have access to forms with information like name, phone number, date, location, fax number, etc. They need to have access only to those forms that are notated for them and they should be able to edit and make saves.

The admin will have access to all forms.

So does something like CiviCRM work for you? It sounds like you're looking for some sort of CRM package in any case.

That said, it sounds like you're just trying to do basic contact managagement. You might just do a Google search on "contact management" and look at a few packages. It seems, for example, that if your outfit is standardized on some desktop software (i.e. Office), you might look at software that integrates with that, but which syncs over the web. Not sure if any of those would work for you, but several look quite good.

I have been reading about CiviCRM, but I am not certain that it can be set up so that each individual agent will be able to access only those documents assigned to them.

I am working with a small group of people and expect to have 10 to 20 individual agents along with an administrator. Each agent only needs to log in to view and edit documents/spreadsheets. Of course the admin will view all docs. There will be no need of emails, public viewing of any part of the program.

dotnetnuke... it would take me 5 minutes to set this up with the specifics the OP mentioned.

Drupal CMS 5.0 is quite comfortable for usage. I have been working for long with it and can recommend it as it is open source and it is highly customizable. The code is very simple for understanding and logically structured.
