Hey there,

We are looking at using hook_civicrm_contactListQuery() to populate an autocomplete which should be available to anonymous users.  However, it looks like you need access civicrm permissions to use this hook, which means that it wouldn't work for this use case unless we give anonymous users access to civicrm, which doesn't seem like a sensible thing to do.

If I'm correct that you do need the access civicrm permission for hook_civicrm_contactListQuery() to work, what do you think the solution is? Remove this requirement? Or not use the CiviCRM autocomplete hook.  Happy to dig in to the code and have a look but if someone has the bigger picture here, that would be useful.

Perhaps the most sensible solution is to just implement a seperate ajax call that doesn't use the hook.  Not sure at this point how much extra coding that would involve.

Thanks,
Michael
