      Description

      See https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-18122

      It is much too easy to grant permissions that inadvertently expose data.

      Barring improvements to profiles and/or permissions (and even if they were improved) we should have clear documentation on the risk of doing so, and steps you can take to avoid it.

      I should be discussed and/or cross referenced in

      When working on this, it might be a good time to merge information from the following wiki pages into the book and delete the wiki page:

      Once complete, it probably makes sense to update UI references to the documentation in appropriate pages like the profiles config pages.
