I can see columns that list people names in SharePoint's datasheet view, but read-only users cannot.

Is there a way for read-only users to see columns of this type? The type of information in this column is: Person or Group, no mandatory information, allow multiple selections, People only, choose from All users, show field - name with presence.

    I've tested this with a user in the Restricted Read group and can't reproduce the problem. Do you have more details about how the column was set and group the read-only users are in? Please update the question with that information. – Alex Angas Sep 16 '09 at 10:09

  • We also tried this with a test user and it worked, but for some reason the real people using the list can't see these columns. I can because I have admin rights, but they do not. – Marius Sep 18 '09 at 14:27

I have encountered this issue as well. Confirm the version of Office that the users have. I believe an Office '07 DLL is required for Datasheet View to work reliably.

What's likely happening is that the read-only user doesn't have access to the user info list where this information is stored.

  • The user info is from our outlook address repository, so they all should have access. – Marius Sep 18 '09 at 14:26
  • Hi Kevin, All users are stored in the same database, I can see everything, so can they, exept for these columns in SharePoint. We tried with a Test user and it worked, but it did not with real people. – Marius Sep 25 '09 at 18:37
