User Privacy Settings

User Privacy Settings

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

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

- not for everyone but only for a particular User. This setting can be used to both decrease and increase access to the object, it could for example be used to allow the user to see an otherwise restricted object.

You can use any "Show to?" option, but they don't have their usual meanings: Show to public and Show only to authenticated users permit the user to see the object, while Show only to admin users and Hide even from admin users restrict the access to the object for this user.

Suppose you don't want the Username John to be able to see any details of ID I100 in the GEDCOM, you could configure it like this:

Username: John

ID: I100

Show?: "Show only to admin users"

and details for the specified individual would be hidden for the Username "John" only.

To show the details of I101 (which usually would be hidden because I101 is still alive) to Username "John" set:

Username: John

ID: I101

Show?: "Show only to authenticated users".
