Technical Support Forum

Greets,

The explanation of where you’re looking helps — as it shows you’re looking in the wrong place. Your review setting may NOT override an item’s access restrictions as set by the author of the item. They have higher restriction priority. Please re read my prior response …

When you’re reviewing an item, your review is at the mercy of that item’s settings. Not your own review settings.

If someone can’t view the work you’re reviewing, they can’t view the review. The author of the item has said the public can’t see it. So how could we allow the review, which references the content of the item, to be shown? It wouldn’t make sense on a number of levels! The content of the item is not public! Reviews belong to items; not the other way around.

Past that, I’m not sure how else to explain it… I’m sorry if this doesn’t help. If I come up with something else, I’ll be sure to let you know.
