Kevin, It's not a user security issue, it's a privacy issue, which is why it's under "Privacy" rather than "Security". You may not have noticed this because the area containing the "Privacy" intro label looks like a list item, which is bug 1191029.
I do not think a "When locked, allow: Notifications and quick settings" setting should exist that does not, in fact, control notifications at the lock screen. A simple way to fix this for RTM would be to remove the setting altogether, never allowing access to indicator menus at the lock screen. The Unity API Team have scheduled substantial work on implementing greeter profiles for the indicators, determining which items should be present when the setting is turned on. Removing the setting, and blocking all access to indicator menus at the lock screen, would be less work rather than more. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1371081 Title: if “when locked, allow [...] notifications” is disabled, notifications should not be shown Status in Ubuntu UX bugs: New Status in “unity8” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: Under system settings -> Privacy & Security -> Phone locking there's a “When locked, allow: notifications and quick settings” checkbox.
