Setting Profile Preferences
The profile details that are affected by your preferences settings appear in your full profile view, for example, in the Profile viewer and on the About tab of the default Profile business role page.
Full profiles are presented in four sections: Summary, Employee, Business Contact, Personal Information. Each section provides information related to the section heading. For example, Summary includes a collection of basic details, such as your user name, mail address, and office location.
Note:
Your system administrator can control every user's access to the user's own profile information. For example, the system administrator can control whether a profile section is shown, whether a given section is editable, and who can see what profile information. Consequently, the control you can exercise over your own profile preferences is determined by the actions of your system administrator.
Use profile preferences to specify who can view different types of information associated with your personal profile.
