Resolution

“User search” is part of the “Company info access” permission, located under General User Permission section. The User search is dependent and cannot be granted without the Company Info access permission, although it is possible to only grant the Company Info without the user search.

  • Company Info: grants the permission to access the Company Info menu.
  • User Search: grants permission to search the users under the target throughout the system (including themselves). This permission is a pre requisite for many functionalities in the system, including People Profile and the language change in the mobile app (as the API depends on this permission).
