CiviCRM Active User is a simple module that adds a user to a CiviCRM group upon Drupal login.

This was originally developed primarily to support a double opt-in check when using CiviMail. Not only must the user sign up for a CiviCRM group, they must use their Drupal login by signing in at least once.

In 6.x, now that double opt-in is a default CiviCRM feature, this module would be more useful if they were a way to segment the users into groups by user role. A patch is welcome for this, see #155824: Assign Drupal users to different CiviCRM groups based on current Drupal user role(s).

Known issues

If a user leaves the group, they will be re-added to it. A patch is welcome for this, see #279606: auto-rejoins an unsubscribed contact who unsubscribed via email the next time they sign in.

5.x branch

For a complete double opt-in solution for 5.x, use this module in conjunction with CiviCRM Subscribe. Note, however, that no further development will be done to 5.x, and that 5.x is unsupported, now that Drupal 5 is end-of-life.

6.x branch

6.x is also unsupported now that Drupal 6 is end-of-life.

Sponsorship

Completion of the port to 6.x, and the upgrade of the 5.x version to use the CiviCRM v2 APIs, were supported by TechMission for UrbanMinistry.org/ChristianVolunteering.org.

Initial development of this module was partially supported by CivicActions.
