Feature Settings is the third tab in the Organization Settings. You can return to this tab at any time by clicking on Settings in the left navigations, then on Feature at the top of the screen.

This tab allows Organization Administrators to set feature-related settings for the Directory, Meetings, Microsoft 365, Messenger, and Roles & Terms.

Directory & Member Profile Visibility

There may be times when you'd like to limit the visibility of the Directory and user's Profiles. Clicking Configure Visibility will open up options to adjust who can view each of these items In your Organization.

Here you'll be presented with the individual settings to assign permissions to view Profile information and the Directory. 

Profile Visibility Settings

In this panel, you can select who will be able to see the demographic and contact details of your Organization members.

The Contact Information includes Email, Phone Number, and Address fields in your user's profiles.

Information such as date of birth, ethnic background, LGBTQ+, veteran status, & disability visibility will be affected by the Demographic Information setting.

Clicking the dropdown next to each option will allow this information to be set to the following options, which we'll break down a bit further:

Visible to Admins, Group Admins, & Owner

• This will allow any Organization Administrators, Group Administrators and the user themself to view a user's demographic and profile information.

Visible to All Members

• This is the default setting in OnBoard. This allows All Members to view another user's demographic and profile information. 

Visible to Mutual Group Members

• This allows a user to only see the demographic and profile information for mutual group members. 

When made visible, users can click on a user's name in OnBoard to view their profile information. Demographics and Contact Information will be shown here if enabled.

When a user doesn't have the proper permission, they will not see the Demographics or Contact Information blocks, depending on if one or both has been restricted.

Directory Visibility Settings

This option will allow your Organization to limit the ability to access the Directory. 

The Visibility dropdown will allow you to restrict visibility to the following user sets:

Visible to Admins Only

• If you'd like it so that it's only visible to Administrators, your members will still be able to message or assign tasks to other members (as long as your organization has these features as part of your plan). Users will be able to view the Groups panel and any Roles & Terms they've been assigned in the Directory.

• Group members will be able to click and view the profile data of other users in their Groups.

• Users without permission to view the Directory will instead see this restricted screen:
  
  

Visible to All Members

• This is the default setting in OnBoard. This allows All Members to view the Directory.
