Sharepoint user details not visible to other users
- by richardoz
I am managing a SharePoint site that uses Form Based Authentication. We have several generic lists, document libraries and active task lists that users can create update and delete. Users can use the people pickers to select/search for everyone. But the users cannot see other users names, email addresses etc. in display lists or the people pickers. If I log in as the site collection administrator, I can see everyones details. So I know the data is available.
Updated details on this problem
(non-administrators) SharePoint users cannot see other users information. Example: User A assigns a task to user B. User A creates a new task and uses the people picker to find user B. User B is only visible by the login name “bname” and any information about user B is not visible or searchable within the people picker. Once user B is assigned the task, user A no longer sees the name in the task list – even though user A created it. No modified by, created by, assigned to or owner field data is visible to non-administrator users.
Facts:
Extranet site is configured to use Forms Based Authentication.
Intranet uses windows based authentication
Users of both the intranet and extranet have the same problem
All databases are local
The site uses SSRS integration
SharePoint WSS on Windows 2003 Std

After activating the verbose logging it looks like SharePoint is definately asking SQL server for only the user info for the currently logged in user:
SELECT TOP 6 /lots-of-columns/
FROM
UserData INNER MERGE JOIN Docs AS t1
ON
(
1 = 1
AND
UserData.[tp_RowOrdinal] = 0
AND
t1.SiteId = UserData.tp_SiteId
AND
t1.SiteId = @L2
AND
t1.DirName = UserData.tp_DirName
AND
t1.LeafName = UserData.tp_LeafName
AND
t1.Level = UserData.tp_Level
AND
t1.IsCurrentVersion = 1
AND
(1 = 1)
)
LEFT OUTER JOIN
AllUserData AS t2
ON
(
UserData.[tp_Author]=t2.[tp_ID]
AND
UserData.[tp_RowOrdinal] = 0
AND
t2.[tp_RowOrdinal] = 0
AND
(
(t2.tp_IsCurrent = 1)
)
AND
t2.[tp_CalculatedVersion] = 0
AND
t2.[tp_DeleteTransactionId] = 0x
AND
t2.tp_ListId = @L3
AND
UserData.tp_ListId = @L4
AND
t2.[tp_Author]=162 /* this is the currently logged in user */
)
WHERE
(UserData.tp_IsCurrent = 1)
AND
UserData.tp_SiteId=@L2
AND
(UserData.tp_DirName=@DN)
AND
UserData.tp_RowOrdinal=0
AND
(
(
(UserData.[datetime1] IS NULL )
OR
(UserData.[datetime1] = @L5DTP)
)
AND
t1.SiteId=@L2
AND
(t1.DirName=@DN)
)
ORDER BY
UserData.[tp_Modified] Desc,
UserData.[tp_ID] Asc
Again, any ideas would be appreciated.
