Permissions for email field of core.users Will Holtz  2015-02-23 13:58
Status: Closed
 
Hi,

In the Schema Browser, if I mouse over the core.users table, the text the pops up indicates that logged in users should be able to see the email field. However, the query "SELECT Users.Email FROM Users" only returns empty rows when executed from a logged in but non-admin account. I have observed this on v14.3 and r36010. Is there a way I can reconfigure the permissions on the Email field?

thanks,
-Will

The comment probably predates changes we made to tighten up who can see other users' email addresses. By default, only administrators can view email addresses, which is appropriate for a public facing site. However, any site administrator can change this behavior by assigning the "See Email Addresses" role at the root:

- Admin -> Site Permissions
- Assign "See Email Addresses" to the user(s) or group(s) who are allowed to see email addresses
- Save and Finish

This page provides general information about security roles and specific details about site roles: https://www.labkey.org/wiki/home/Documentation/page.view?name=permissionLevels
