Profile owner attribute security controls which attributes members can see and edit on their own profile. This article covers how to read and change those permissions. To control what members see on other members' profiles, see Group attribute security.

Opening profile owner attribute security
Go to Database > Attributes, then select Profile Owner Attribute Security.
Reading the permissions grid
Columns represent every member type in your database. Rows represent your built-in and custom attributes.
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
Note: An N/A icon means the attribute is not assigned to that member type. It can also mean the custom attribute still needs adding for an organization's linked profiles. To assign it, see Assigning attributes to member types.
Changing permissions
Use the CHANGE ALL dropdown above a column 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.
Select SAVE to apply your changes.
