Update Privacy Settings for Someone Else

Registered users of your Realm site can view and register their privacy settings. But there might be times when you need to do it for them.

When you change an individual's privacy settings, he or she will be notified automatically by email. Changes are also recorded in the Customization History section of the Privacy page. In order to provide the most current information, the Customization History section displays privacy changes from the past 12 months.

When you change someone's profile privacy, Realm automatically sends them an email listing the new settings. (A popup message will remind you of this.) But there is an exception to this safeguard. No email is sent if:
  • the owner of the profile does not have an email on file
  • the profile has not been opted in to the online directory

View/Edit Someone's Privacy Settings

Registered users of your Realm site can view and manage their own privacy settings. But there might be times when you need to do it for them.

To view a user's privacy settings, you must have the Edit Individual permission set to Allow in your list of responsibilities. If an administrator marks information, such as emails or phone numbers, as visible to users, the View Details for Individuals permission must be set to Allow in order for the user to view the information.

See Responsibilities for more information.
