Just starting to use module.

Works fine in Firefox and Safari. When I try Internet Exploer 9, the field selection does not complete.

For instance if Allowed Value is "Ridge" typing "Rid" does not bring up Ridge.

Title: Internet Explorer 9 - Autocomplete does not complete » Autocomplete does not complete For Non Admins - Permissions Issue ?

So, I switched user roles and found the field worked for Admin, but not other user roles.

It works for Admin in both IE9 and the other browsers.

Am checking permissions, but I don't see any related to this module and I don't see any dependent modules.

So, I changed a current field (in the same content type) from Select List to Autocomplete and it is working fine for all roles.

I don't understand why it works now but it seems to just fine.

Same problem. I have an integer field which is filled with possible values using PHP.
Non-admin users cannot see the autocomplete. Instead they just get a plain text box.

I have done the following:
- assigned both view and edit permissions to the field for the relevant roles.
- emptied drupal caches.
- edited the field and saved it again.

Looking at the code in autocomplete_widgets_access() that should be sufficient for it to work but it does not.

I am experiencing the exact same problem.

Edit: I checked permissions and noticed that the "view field" perm for the field in question was not allowed for the user role I was trying to use. Granting permission for this role caused the field to function perfectly. Prior to this, only "edit field" was granted.

I has the same problem... I found it way because my auto-complete field was based on a custom view and the user did not have permission to view that view. Once I granted permission all worked fine.

Thanks a lot @dahousecat you saved my day. I am using Drupal 7. I have searched lots of post and applied patches nothing works. At last reading this one I got know that user permission was missing. Now everything is working fine.
