Hi Sam,

Yes, technically a bug. However, a solution we see from our side is to
remove "Search tracked entity instances in all org units" authority.

The problem with this authority is that, once assigned, users have no
control when to use it or not. It doesn't make sense to list all
patients in a country whose name contains an "a" for example.

With our new approach - assigning search organisation unit - users can
control the search scope. By default, there is no difference as the root
orgunit is used for searching. But users can narrow down the search by
selecting a lower level orgunit

Title:
  The role/authority ‘Search tracked entity in all Org Units’  is not
  working, and even with this authority, a search will return only
  tracked entity instances that are registered/enrolled within user's
  own assigned org units

Status in DHIS:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi all,

  The ‘search tracked entity instance in all Org Units’ authority
  doesn’t appear to be working in 2.24 – see section 26.2 of the 2.24
  User Guide for details of this authority.  (This feature has been
  documented for quite some time now, but I haven’t yet had a chance to
  check whether or not it’s working in earlier versions of DHIS2.)  Even
  after being given a role containing this authority, users do not
  appear to be able to search for tracked entity instances outside of
  their assigned ‘data capture’ Org Units.

  
  To reproduce this in the 2.24 stable demo:

  1. While logged in as ‘Admin’, go to ‘Tracker Capture’, select ‘MNCH /
  PNC (Adult Woman)’, and select the Njandama MCHP org unit.

  2. Type ‘Sarah’ in the search box – it should return a record for
  Sarah Thompson registered at Ngelehun CHC.

  3. Go to the User app, and update the role ‘MNCH / PNC (Adult Woman) program’ to include the following authorities:
  - Add/update tracked entity data value
  - Add/update tracked entity instance
  - Delete tracked entity data value
  - Delete tracked entity instance
  - Search tracked entity instance
  - Search tracked entity instance in All Org Units
  - See browser cache cleaner module
  - See dashboard integration module
  - See Tracker Capture Module

  4. Create a new user with just this role, and give it only the
  Njandama MCHP Org Unit.

  5. Log out and back in again with this new user.

  6. Go to ‘Tracker Capture’, select the Njandama MCHP Org Unit (it
  should be the only one showing), and select the ‘MNCH / PNC’ program.

  7. Type ‘Sarah’ in the search box – no records are returned; click to
  show ‘detailed search’, and only the Njandama Org Unit is showing
  (rather than the wider OU tree mentioned in the documentation),
  meaning this user is not able to search for tracked entity instances
  registered/enrolled at Ngelehun CHC.

  
  Tested on DHIS2 2.24 stable demo (revision fff20a3); Chrome version 53.0.2785.116 (64-bit); Mac OSX 10.11.6 (15G1004)
