Restricting Visibility of Departments and User Details Across Different Top-Level Departments

This section explains how to restrict the ability for users to access the user profile screens and other information of a department that belongs to a different top-level department. This function is called the department access control setting.

Restrictions on Viewing User Details

When the department access control setting is enabled, user details and department details are not visible to users who belong to a different top-level department.
User details and department details are visible to users who belong to the same top-level department, regardless of the hierarchical level of the user's department.

However, Users & System administrators can use Users & System Administration to view each user's user details and department details.

Restrictions on Search

When the department access control setting is enabled, users cannot search departments and users that belong to a different top-level department.
Additionally, users cannot set a comment Mention to users who belong to a different top-level department.
Various types of access to users and departments are restricted, such as the restriction that prevents the users of a different top-level department from appearing on screens.
For details, see Views and Selections Restricted by the Department Access Control Setting.

Views and Selections Restricted by the Department Access Control Setting

The tables below describe whether the actions on each screen are restricted when the department access control setting is enabled. In the tables, "●" indicates that the action is allowed, and an empty cell indicates that the action is not allowed.
For example, the table for Users & System Administration indicates that if the department access control is enabled, non-administrator users cannot view the profiles of other users who belong to different departments.

The restricted views and selections are the same for both PCs and mobile devices.
