Missing Contacts when NOT associated with Accounts

Hello,

I have a scenario where a user entered a Contact that is not associated with an Account

When I execute the query method from the API to process:
"select Id, FirstName, LastName, Title, AccountID, CreatedDate, LastModifiedDate from contact"

Contacts not associated with Accounts are NOT retrieved.  Contacts associated with Accounts are retrieved.  This functionality use to work in 2.0 API.

Developed in Visual Studio.Net 2003 (VB) Enterprise 2.5 API.

Thanks
Roy

Hello,

Upon further investigation, it appears that Contacts not associated with Accounts are not pulled in for Users with a role other than System Adminstrator.  Users with a role of System Adminstrator do pull in Contacts not associated with Accounts via the API.

Is this true?  If so, how would we retrieve the Contacts not associated with Accounts for regular users?

Thanks
Roy

Hi Roy,

I think what you are seeing is that the standard user cannot see contacts that the user does not own.  Try logging in as the standard user and create a contact then, try to query the contact using the standard user credentials via the api.
