Hi @Muhammed-Elamir, Could you please provide more details? - Where exactly are your team members looking for these records? On the contact index page (Menu \> Contacts \> Contacts)? If so, have they made sure they’re looking at an unfiltered page? ![karstenkoehler_0-1675419251518.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/a/6/a6430449d6af55ac6926b6adc4eb3e13de7184c8.png) - When you share a link to the contact record with them directly (copied from the address bar in your browser), can they open it? - When you’re assigning contacts to other users, are you updating the _Contact owner_ property? (Only owner properties influence view access permissions. If you have a custom dropdown, for example, that wouldn’t do anything.) Best regards ---

Hi @Muhammed-Elamir, If your users are looking at an unfiltered view and can open the link, they should be able to find a contact through the search. Can you confirm that this is definitely not working? ![karstenkoehler_0-1675420671792.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/9/b/9b08f0430328add2344b9d4b8aff7eeb09039ecc.png) If it’s not, can you please have your users try and delete cache and cookies in their browser? Best regards ---

Hi @Muhammed-Elamir, In your screenshot, there is a filter. Can you please click _Clear all_ and then use the search bar to look for the contact? I’m certain that your users will see the contact if they remove all filters and then use the search bar. There may also be a misunderstanding regarding _Contact owner_ and _Company owner_. If you assign someone a company, they will not automatically be assigned the contacts. This is not linked. Best regards ---

The Previous Screen Shot is From Admin Account to show when make Unassigned Filter, contacts always shown there.as you see you will find contact owner i checked all users accounts, no filter and no assigned contacts after 01/02/2023 are shown . is this may be because we are using free plan ? ---

Hi @Muhammed-Elamir, No, this is not a free CRM issue. Just to confirm: 1. You have a contact record that both you (admin) and the user can access when you share the link with them. 2. You update the contact property _Contact owner_ and assign the contact to the user by doing so. 3. After doing so, the user is still able to open the link from step 1. 4. The user opens _Menu_ \> _Contacts_ \> _Contacts_ and looks at an **unfiltered** view ( = Clear all). When they search for the email address in the search bar in the top left corner of the index page, the search does not return the contact. Is all of the above correct? If that’s the case, please share a screenshot of the contact index page and a screenshot of the contact record that shows the _Contact owner_ property. Potential misunderstandings: - _Contact owner_ and _Company owner_ are not linked in any way. - Filtering for assigned contacts is also a filter. Please, as a first step, remove **all** filters and confirm whether the user can see the contact or not. Best regards ---

yes, all four points are correct ![Screenshot-2023-02-03-at-4.24.44-PM.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/2X/d/dee9a111dec35b30992c62e006679dda69694128.png) ![Screenshot-2023-02-03-at-4.28.46-PM.jpg](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/1X/f66561436c8bee0564ebd83aeca6d2f5daed882b.jpeg) ---

Hi @Muhammed-Elamir, This unfortunately seems to be a bug then. Could you please also share the screenshot of the contact index page (_Menu_ \> _Contacts_ \> _Contacts_), showing the search field including the email address of the contact + the lack of results? ![karstenkoehler_0-1675427673781.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/9/a/9a3dca48b2a66e95cf9a75b73141c0288836e68e.png) We can then tag a community manager.
