Any member of any given ESN section can check other sections' accounts at accounts.esn.org and find general information about the section as well as a list with all the volunteers in that section.

But oddly, if that person is added to a certain section but not given any particular role, or s/he requests to be accepted in that section and is left in an unaccepted state, the ammount of information that's accessible to that person is not increased, but rather reduced, as the member list of that section is no longer visible.

While I can see why no more information should be accessible, I can't come up with a reason why just by requesting to be accepted to a different section, or be accepted indeed without a particular role, should reduce the ammount of information you can access to.

Maybe it's a bug, or I may as well be missing something!

Hi Diego,

Thanks a lot for letting us know!

This indeed a known issue and is unfortunately not related to our implementation but the underlaying Drupal modules that provide the Group functionality. There is a restriction in the Group module, not allowing to set the permissions of pending group members, while for outsiders it can be done. As you can also revoke your request by leaving the group, we did not consider this a big issue, but hopefully something that we can fix in the future when the Drupal module get's updated...
