Question
On a Content Type Hub
subscriber site collection, we have site library using a Content Type

column that displays null
if the user is not a Site Collection Administrator:
What permissions are required on the subscriber site collection to allow normal users to view the value? (Given the user full control on the root site collection didn't work).
