Viewing Directory


 

As the owner of a group, it seems I will always see all members in the directory.? Whereas group members can only see others if the correct permissions have been set.? Do I correctly understand that?

Is there a way for me to view the directory the same way a member would view it?? Meaning only to see the members who have set their permissions to do so?

The only way that I'm aware of is to create another account and make it a member of the group.? I do that on all groups I own anyway so I can be sure what a member will see vs an owner.

Specifically:
  • the Directory must be enabled in settings (Privacy>Member Directory Visibility), and
  • each group member must first create a profile of his own and share it.?
At that point that member will be able to browse the Directory for profiles of others who have done the same.

The best way is to see the group as others do is to subscribe yourself to the group using a second email address; one that has only Member permissions. And of course, for the purpose of browsing the Directory you will also have to create a profile.

Having done so, you will subsequently have to keep track of which address you're logged in under so as to avoid getting confused. See?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Group-Content-Is-Missing

Hope this helps,

OK...that'll work.? I'll probably do that.? In the meanwhile I have been emailing a member now and then to tell me what he sees from his point of view.

Thx..
