View Contact Dashboard link

I have had a problem reported which is as follows:

You are signed in to the site and you click on a link to another member and get taken to their profile e.g. http://website.org.uk/users/katy-jockelson where you can see a little bit of info about the user and maybe a contact form which is fine. The problem is that there is also a link to '» View Contact Dashboard', which when you click you get the following error:

Sorry. A non-recoverable error has occurred.
You do not have permission to view this contact

Return to home page.


It seems right that you shouldn't be able to see another user's dashboard and maybe the error lies in the fact that the link appears at all, rather than that you can't click it?

I guess this is a bug report but thought I'd start with a post..

Do what you love, it's your gift to the universe

This is a bug IMO. If the user doesn't have permissions in CiviCRM to view or edit the contact linked to a given user, the Contact Dashboard link should be hidden.

Issue filed. You can track progress at:
