Unable to link to item in media library even though permissions allow read access

In my Sitecore site, we have a template called Link, with an Item field that is a Droptree with an empty source. In theory, elements using the link template should be able to link to any other element in Sitecore. Today I found that some (non-admin) users were unable to link to Items in the Media Library. Why can't a user with full read access to the media library select an item in the library from the DropTree?

After some investigation, I found that it depends on which view the user is logged in with: Desktop or Content Editor.

The problem is that a Droptree with an empty source will refer to the user's original position in the content tree. When users log into the content editor view, their start position is set to / sitecore / content / by default. I was able to give them access to the media library via Droptree by setting the field source to "/" which gives them access to everything under / sitecore /



I hope this helps someone else.
