Sharepoint 2010 Tags & Notes Permissions

 

In a SharePoint 2010 site, that was not created using the team site template, users can't see each other's notes.

 To fix this

•  Login to the Central Administration .
•  Click on Manage Service Applications -> User Profile Service Application ->
•  Click "Setup My Sites" under "My Site Settings"

                 

• Scroll down to the "Security Trimming Options" section.
• Click "Show all links regardless of permission". This allows everyone to see each other's notes on all sites in the farm.
• You can also specify the site Url(s), for more control over who sees notes, tags, feeds & ratings .

•   After clicking "Ok" I can see other people's notes.
