Issue
- The Contacts Center Widget allows users to export the user’s vCard and save it as a VCF file. vCard is a file format standard for electronic business cards.
- If a regular user clicks on the vCard from another user to download it, nothing happens and the vCard is not downloaded. Regular users can only download their own vCard.
Environment
- Liferay DXP 7.1
- Liferay DXP 7.2
- Liferay DXP 7.3
Resolution
- For security reasons, this is the default behavior. To allow a user to download the VCard from other users, the permission to view other users has to be added to one of the user's assigned roles.
- This can be achieved by following these steps:
- Access Control Panel > Roles.
- Click on the chosen role and click on Define Permissions.
- From Define Permissions, access Control Panel > Users > Users and Organizations > Resource Permissions > User.
- Check VIEW permission.
- Press Save.
