Group manager and hidden fields are searchable in the front end

    I have an admin only field that can be viewed by the group manager.

    I have other fields that can be viewed by the group manager.

    All of these fields are visible in the front end sort box “Select a Field” Pulldown and as a search user filter. Shouldn’t they be invisible to all users who aren’t admins or group leaders?

    A normal test user was able to search with these fields for a moment.

    I updated to 5.2.8 and created a field with:

    Add to Filters = Yes

    Remove from Filter = No

    Privacy settings = Only Group Manager,

    I want the Group Manager to be able to search with this field on the front end and expected it to be invisible to non-group managers.

    However, a normal user can see it in the filters pull down list on th egroup page and in th efilters on the search page. I expected it to work like the Admin Only fields where admins can see and srt with these fields but no one else can..
