I want to force and lock the custom search filter in the Contacts module to "My Contacts", and have this extend to all other users.
This should be beyond the "default search" function, as there shouldn't be an "x" (remove) option next to it. I'm assuming this would involve some java edits.
What would be an appropriate approach to this?
Dynamic Add Custom Filter Menu Visibility | Remove Add Custom Filter Menu | Disable Add Custom Filter Menu | Control Access by User Group
This module allows administrators to hide or show the "Add Custom Filter" menu based on user groups, ensuring that only authorized users can apply advanced search filters.
