Search CiviCRM block
May 13, 2008, 08:05:22 pm
I am trying to let current members search for contact information on other current members. I have tried adding the "Search CiviCRM" block and making it visible to authenticated users; it appears when logged in as user 0, but it does not appear when logged in as a current member. I haven't found anything in the forum or wiki to direct a solution to this. I would appreciate any help.

If you want to expose the full set of contact data - then you need to give authenticated (or a more specific role) the following permissions under Drupal Access Control:

access CiviCRM
view all Contacts

Most sites however use CiviCRM Profiles to create a search / listings interface which only exposes selected contact fields. You only need to grant the 'profile listings and forms' permission for authenticated users in this case.

You can learn about CiviCRM Profiles here:
