Problem: User can’t see Managed metadata fields in SharePoint 2010
Posted by Rund
Some Problem cases:
1- Users can see managed metadata terms when setting properties for an Item, but when they press “view Item properties” they cant see them and when pressing “edit item properties” they can see them again!
2- Actions based on Managed metadata fields does not work out for regular users but work out perfectly when workflow is started by the system account.
3- any other problem regards managed metadata where regular users can’t handle them but System account can.
As the problem is only on regular users its clearly a permissions problem.
Solution:
Go to http://ServerName:Port/Sites/SiteName/Lists/TaxonomyHiddenList/
You will see a regular SharePoint list with the terms as items in it.
Go to list permissions from the ribbon, and give the permission level “read” for all authenticated users on your system.
That’s it, this supposedly can fix your problem.
