Overview
On the group attribute security page you can control group permissions. This page also controls the attributes your members can view in your directory.
To configure group attribute security
Navigate to Database > Attributes.
Then, click the Group Attribute Security link.
Select the group you want to edit from the Select Group drop-down menu.
The columns display permissions for your member types. The rows display permissions for your built-in and custom attributes. In the above example, 1st Year Professional members can view the Address | Primary attribute for members in the Prospect, Admin, Association and Student member types. They cannot see that attribute for members in the Professional member type.
You can adjust the following Settings:
- The Can Edit icon means members can see and edit an attribute.
- The Can View icon means members can see the attribute's contents, but not make any changes to it.
- The red Hidden icon means that members cannot see or edit an attribute.
Use the CHANGE ALL drop-down menus to update attribute security in bulk.
You can also update each attribute one-by-one by. To do so, click the icon in the individual cell.
You can configure attribute security for each group in your database. Select a group from the drop-down list. If access is the same for many member types, MC Professional will bundle those types in the same column. To separate them, click the ADD NEW COLUMN button at the top of the page, then change the permissions.
Click SAVE in the top right corner to save your changes.
If the cell contains an N/A icon, this means you have not assigned the attribute to the member type. Or, you may need to add the custom attribute for an organization's linked profiles.
