How To: Override User Permissions on a Link Field

You might encounter situations where the “Ignore User Permissions” field option checkbox doesn’t work as expected for a link field.

A workaround is to add ignore_user_permissions as a set_query parameter in a client script/js.

    frm.set_query('employee', function() {
		return {
			filters: {},
			ignore_user_permissions: true
		};
	});

in my case, i can now select any employee even after applying this user permission which was previously restricting me to one value.

although your override works it is obviously something that should not be controlled in the frontend and is a security vulnerability
