Restrict who can see your profile data
74+
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
75+
76+
If the profile is enabled by your administrator, then your profile data can be read by other users and guest.
77+
To control who can see which information you can adjust the scopes already mentioned:
78+
79+
* **Private** will only allow you and users you have added to your phone book to see the data
80+
* **Local** and above will also allow guests to see your data
81+
82+
To restrict the visibility even more you can disable guest from seeing your profile data by changing the profile visibility to logged-in users.
83+
On the personal settings you can find the button for profile visibility:
