Member Directory

The Member Directory, also known as the People page, provides users with a way to browse and search for other members of the digital workplace. You can find the Member Directory at the root of your digital workplace. While you can change its position relative to other objects at that level, or hide it from navigation, you cannot move it to another level (e.g., you cannot place it under a page or space). 

The Member Directory is a core architectural component of the digital workplace that you cannot delete. However, you can change its name and URL at any time.

The member directory.

If your digital workplace has implemented custom profile fields, your directory layouts may not display as described below and will instead display as the agreed-upon layout. If you have any questions, please contact Igloo Support.
