Why 'People' columns are not available for Read-Only users in SharePoint Datasheet view?

Question

I can see columns that list people names in SharePoint's datasheet view, but read-only users cannot.

Is there a way for read-only users to see columns of this type? The type of information in this column is: Person or Group, no mandatory information, allow multiple selections, People only, choose from All users, show field - name with presence.

Answer 1

I'm Kevin and I work on SharePoint

What's likely happening is that the read-only user doesn't have access to the user info list where this information is stored.

Answer 2

I have encountered this issue as well. Confirm the version of Office that the users have. I believe an Office '07 DLL is required for Datasheet View to work reliably.
