| Description | `GET /api/v1/users/{username}/orgs/{org}/permissions` only checked that the organization is visible to the caller and then returned the named user's role in it. Any signed-in user could learn whether another user is an owner, admin or member of a public or limited organization, including for members who conceal their membership. The roles are now only returned to the user themselves, to members of the organization and to site administrators. |
