i am in a quandary: to allow users to see the profile registrations, I need to allow "access civicrm."

Can't you just use profile search feature for this, instead of giving "access CiviCRM" permission?

so I am not as dumb as i sound...

If you are talking about what I am thinking, I did investigate the possibility.  However, whenever I try to set a field as searchable, I get a popup: my profile contains fields from multiple record types, and so the fields aren't searchable.  If they aren't searchable, they can't be shown in a search profile, correct?

Perhaps I am misunderstanding how this works, especially since all the fields are participant fields (custom).  I even tried to edit the fields as searchable in the DB, to no avail.  I can't create a searchable profile with these fields.  Besides, I am not sure that is what I want.  I only want the user to be able to view their own submission, no one else's.  This is confidential info.

As I thought, I am using profiles this way, as registration forms.  What I am trying to do is then allow the participant to see their filled out form.  As Lobo clarified, this is NOT the same as 'view participant' which as I understand simply lists registered participants to an event.  I want to the user to see their own participant data for each event registration.  I am setting up a system where society members submit papers for an upcoming meeting.  Submissions are their own 'event'.  I want them to see the various paper submissions they have made over the years.  Apparently this is not normal use of Civi, so I am trying to come up with work arounds.

thanks though,
