[Vtigercrm-developers] How to sync local SQLite database in mobile and Server side Vtiger mysql database

[Ola Sikström]

A little correction to the last mail:

I do get different results based on if i'm admin or not - just not the
expected result

admin:
returns entities owned by current user

not admin:
returns nothing at all (except for some php warnings): normal
200-response, but no json-data
