Profile field permissions
The visibility of these fields can be altered as needed. By doing this, the newly created field will only be visible to specific users you have designated:
- Standard: No permissions, usual field visible to every one according to configuration.
- Special: Field visible only to users specified in permissions dialogue.
- Advanced: Make the field visible by certain users for certain users. You'll be able to set permissions after the field is created.
You can also change these permissions at a later time by going back into the 'All user profile fields' and clicking on the pencil icon or detach the items from a user-profiles by selecting the chain icon accordingly.
