Privacy Settings By ID

Privacy Settings By ID

These settings allow administrators to override default privacy settings for a particular object:

• An Individual
• A Family
• A Source
• A Multimedia Object

The override can either increase or decrease access to his object, compared to default setting in the General section.

Suppose for example you have a child who died in infancy. Normally because the child is dead, its details would be shown to public users. However, you and everyone else in your family are still private. You don't want to remove the death record for the child but you want to hide the details and make them private. If this child had the ID of I100 you should enter the following privacy settings:

ID: I100

Show to: Show only to authenticated users

This works the other way as well. If you wanted to make public the details of someone (ID 101) who you know to be dead but don't have a death date for, you could add the following:

ID: I101

Show to: Show to public
