civicrm ajax search box
February 05, 2010, 09:48:34 pm
Hello,

I have a question about the ajax search box. I have come across a few sites that won't give users 'access civicrm' privilege because the ajax search box gives them too much information about who is in the database. i.e. I might not have permission to view Brad Pitt's record but I can tell he is in the database because he appears in the ajax search box in the top left.

I know this was discussed a little previously but can't remember if the outcome was:

1) It shouldn't be like this & will fix at some point
2) The way it is working is as intended and there is no intention to change
3) It would be nice to only show contacts the current user has permission to but it would slow down the AJAX call too much.

Can someone confirm?

Also, Can we give access civicrm access (ie. navigation bar, view appropriate contact records) without the search box?
