In the past we've been asked by different users to change the way this works so that policies are not shown in search results for users not associated with that scheme, rather than just 'greyed out' i.e. shown in light grey.

We hesitated originally because of the idea of users being away on holiday who need their policies dealt with but in hindsight this would not be an issue at all: an Admin could still view the policies or could change the policy allocation settings on a whim, which is what often happens now. The FSA also say that there should always be two staff members able to deal with any scheme, so in theory it shouldn't happen much (even if people flaunt the rules or both are away an Admin can still make changes).

And there is a significant advantage to hiding unallocated policies completely: a single SchemeServe solution could have multiple schemes and completely different departments allocated schemes with no fear of overlap.

Changes required are summarised thus:

1. Admins (and ADM admins) should be exempt from policy allocation rules in search results (should see everything).
2. Non-admins should not see the cases that are not allocated to them, rather than the current greyed-out version with javascript popup. They should instead be completely invisible.
