I've got a setup that is installed and makes sense to me. Back end is set to forced privacy controls, and everything is set per instructions.

The tab access levels are set to Registered. I would expect the tab to be accessible by the owner of the profile (to update contact info), but visible only to the user groups specified. Unfortunately, a test account that belongs only to "Spotters" can still view that tab info on others' profiles. Why? I can set the option to force privacy, so the install works, but the actual profile display is not private as expected.

To protect privacy in lieu of this privacy module not working, I set CB->Configuration->User Profiles to a higher level that I'd like, missing out on a lot of other features of CB I do want to share. It's just like privacy is not accounted for on the front-end when tested.

Ok, good to know it's supposed to work as I want. Now I know it's not working. Spotters are not part of the moderators. Currently, only Super Admins are CB admins. I cannot figure this out. I have privacy set to Board Members, but my test account... just in Spotters... can see others' contact info. Not supposed to happen. How can I begin to trouble shoot this? No matter what settings I put in, Privacy just doesn't seem to take hold and display as desired.

Hrm. That's not quite right. What i want is a tab with contact info (Address, Phone, Email) that the user can edit and view their own, and only a certain group (NCS Alert) can view all users' data. I understand the general user will see their own contact info tab, but they should not see the tab of other users. In my test, a general user *could* view the contact info tab (now called NCS Access in my site) of all other users, regardless of the privacy integration settings. My understanding is that force privacy control affects non-moderators, and the user can view/edit their own page. The problem I'm encountering is that regardless of the forced privacy, a general user can see the contact info tab of all other users.

To circumvent this anomaly, I set all users' profiles to "Moderator can set privacy" on the privacy_profile field. I have that set to NCS Alert, but use the moderator setting to set our board members' profiles to public. This enforces stricter, all-encompassing privacy on all tabs, however, it doesn't let other tabs be viewed by general members. I have some tabs I'd like viewable to all, but because of this problem with the NCS Access (contact info) tab, I have to secure the entire profile, not just the NCS Access tab.

Does that make more sense?
