Just looking at a scenario where goal is to permit contacts to 'view' but not 'edit' other team members details from their Contact Dashboard if they have permission via a permissioned Relationship.

What will it take to hide or remove the 'edit' option so they can only 'view' the details?

Just realised that the above was written from memory which was that there was both a 'view' and an 'edit' option on the Contact Dashboard - where as in fact, if you have permission to 'update' via the Relationship then you get this on the Dashboard - Edit Contact Information

So the tidy solution would be to modify the Relationship so that instead of the options being
- 'Contact A' can view and update information for 'Contact B ' and
- 'Contact B' can view and update information for 'Contact A '

there would be four options
- 'Contact A' can view information for 'Contact B ' and
- 'Contact A' can update information for 'Contact B ' and
- 'Contact B' can view information for 'Contact A '
- 'Contact B' can update information for 'Contact A '

And therefore if you only have 'view' then you would have 'view' show in the Dashboard and you would only get a screen that shows the Addrss details etc

And if you have 'update' then the existing string/url would be returned namely

http://drupal.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/contact/relatedcontact?action=update&reset=1&cid=XX

Am anticipating Roland will dive in to this to get an idea of what would be involved to do it properly.

So would I.  It would be good if users could see their relationships without necessarily being able to change them.
