NOTE! In 7.1 we've added a new permission to the User's Profile. It's not the same as Project Permissions, but it allows to limit visibility of Projects by Division. If "User Can Only See Projects from Own Division" is enabled, effectively User is not able to see/search or create bookings on any other Division. This setting can be useful if: 

• Division Module is purchased
• Projects are not being shared between Divisions (each Division is working on its own projects)
• Users are not able to see / book or search other Divisions' Projects
