Search forum function returns all posts despite Separate groups

Search forum function returns all posts despite Separate groups

Hi there all,

Can anyone help on this issue? It seems that when logged in as a student, students can use the search forum function and this returns all the posts with the searched term - even those in other separate groups. Is this a bug or intentional? Is there a way of preventing this as it obviously defeats the object of having separate groups? What is perhaps more concerning is that guests can also retrieve forum posts by using the search forum function - and these guests are not in anyway within a 'separate group'.

Thank you in anticipation,

Regards,

Jon.

Sounds like a bug, can you file it as an issue in the tracker giving full details about your versions and setup?
