The default seems to allow everything in the members directory to be public or at least available to members. Is it possible to chage the privacy settings so that new memebers must permit information to be displayed? Can administrators change privacy settings?
Administrators cannot change privacy settings because profiles are universal accross all IGLOO Communities.
This means users may want to show information to some communities but not others. Normally a none selection would not be needed since they just shouldn't fill that field out. But since we use Single Sign on accress all communities, the profiles are universal and the privacy is not.
This means that I can show my Mobile number on my corporate intranet for my coworkers to see but hide it on on an external site to prevent unknown persons from having my cell phone number.
