Group attribute security controls which attributes members of one group can see on other members' profiles. It also governs the attributes that appear in your member directory. This article covers how to set those permissions individually and in bulk.
Opening group attribute security
- Go to Database > Attributes.
- Select Group Attribute Security.
- Choose a group from the Select Group dropdown.
Reading the permissions grid
Columns represent your member types. Rows represent your built-in and custom attributes. Each cell shows what the selected group can do with that attribute for that member type.
Three permission levels apply:
- Can Edit lets members see and change the attribute
- Can View lets members see the contents without changing them
- Hidden, shown in red, prevents members from seeing or changing the attribute
Changing permissions
Use the CHANGE ALL dropdowns to update permissions in bulk. To change a single permission, select the icon in that cell.
When several member types share the same access, MC Professional groups them into one column. To set them separately, select ADD NEW COLUMN, then adjust the permissions.
Configure each group in your database in turn, then select SAVE.
Note: An N/A icon means the attribute is not assigned to that member type. To assign it, see Assigning attributes to member types.
