Enforce “Only My Connections” in Rock Mobile (Permission-Based View for Volunteers)

Enforce “Only My Connections” in Rock Mobile (Permission-Based View for Volunteers)

Connection

In Rock Mobile’s Connections tools, add a configuration setting that allows administrators to enforce “My Connection Requests” and “Only My Connections” at the block or security-role level. This would ensure that assigned connectors (such as volunteers) can only view Connection Requests explicitly assigned to them, without the option to toggle to view all open requests across all types.

Currently, volunteers with access to the Connections block can switch filters and see all open requests, even if they are only responsible for their own assignments. While the web experience supports structured workflows and connector filtering , the mobile experience lacks an enforcement option to restrict visibility to assigned items only. Adding this feature would improve data privacy, reduce confusion, and create a cleaner, more focused experience for volunteer connectors. Ideally, this setting could be enforced per block instance or tied to security roles, preventing end users from overriding the filter toggle.
