Hi Colin,
Thank you for responding, however, I believe that you are misinterpreting my question. I'm taking about a glitch (I think) and not circumventing any privacy issues. FYI, none of the information I'm wanting to share would break any privacy laws.
The reason why I want students to see the full profile of other students is because I've created custom fields which were meant to be shared. I've also set some fundemental moodle settings to make visible to all and they aren't.
I'd like to re-emphasise that the fields I want people to see are the profile fields I've created which I've marked visible to everyone, which are not showing up visible to everyone. Perhaps this was meant to be seen in the regular profile view?

In addition, I am taking about the email address which I've listed as visible to anyone in the course.

If anyone has insights as to why this would not work as configured, I'd be very grateful.
