Restricting the Ability to View User Profile and Department Information of Users in a Different Department

Article Number:04060

Configuring Department Access Control

In Users & System Administration, you can restrict access to the profile screen and department information of users in a different top-level department. This feature is called the Department Access Control.

Configuring Department Access Control

Opening the Users & System Administration Screen

Restrictions on Viewing User Profile

If Department Access Control is enabled, users in different top-level departments will not be able to view each other's user profile and department information.
Users in the same top-level department can view each other's user profile and department information regardless of what level of hierarchy their departments fall under.
Restrictions on Viewing User Profile
Note that Users & System Administrators can view each user's user profile and department information in Users & System Administration Administration.

Restrictions on Search

If Department Access Control is enabled, users in one top-level department will not be able to search for departments and users in other top-level departments.
Also, users in other top-level departments cannot be mentioned in comments.
There are also other restrictions on access to user and department information; for example, users will not appear on the screen for users in other top-level departments.
For details, refer to Actions Restricted by Department Access Control.

Actions Restricted by Department Access Control

The following tables show the actions users cannot perform on each screen when Department Access Control is enabled.
For example, the Users & System Administration table indicates that, when Department Access Control is enabled, non-administrator users cannot view the profiles of users from other top-level departments.

Actions that cannot be performed are the same for PCs and mobile devices.
