    Description

      Yes I'm the logged in user (as Grouper Admin), so the "For logged in user" column makes sense to me. I assumed the "Result" column was for the student I selected to view. I have a variable cu_duo_AllowedToManage. I just assumed it would be false in this case for the student record. (edited)

      To be clear, if I login as the student, they do not have any special privileges, it just seems to me the manager page is incorrectly showing the state of that variable for some reason.

      Or I'm misinterpreting something in the config.

      you need to look at result and "for logged in user". so the result in the first two are for the user you are looking it, and the last two are for you. you can make another var for the non logged in user for manager if you want... just want to show all variables there, and some of them are for who is logged in...

      some are for who is being searched

      Gotcha, so it's not as simple as looking at that column for the searched user, probably not necessary to fuss with another variable in my case but I think I understand. Perhaps in future if you can notate somehow those special variables to say that it applies to logged-in user and not the searched user.

      its in the right column, it says for logged in user Yes :slightly_smiling_face: or do you mean make it more obvious? :slightly_smiling_face:

      Erik Coleman 11:28 AM
      I mean make it more obvious that that last 2 apply to me, and the others apply to the searched user. I see someone like our help desk getting confused about that.

      And yes perhaps just a wording difference will suffice
