What does the 'profile_listings_and_forms' permission allow?

Question

I'm currently reviewing the permissions for a CiviCRM/WordPress site and want to make sure that I understand the permissions correctly before changing them.

I've found the documentation on the profile_listings_and_forms permission to be a bit unclear so I just wanted to check. Am I right in thinking that this permission is just a shorthand for allowing all four of the other profile permissions?

i.e. profile_listings_and_forms = profile_create + profile_edit + profile_view + profile_listings

Answer 1

Yes, the profile_listings_and_forms permission is just a shorthand for allowing all four profile permissions.

profile_listings_and_forms = profile_create + profile_edit + profile_view + profile_listings

The documentation is being updated to clarify this.

Thanks to MikeMJCO for confirming this.
