You can set the default privacy in the backend:
ES backend -> users -> profile types -> profile type -> privacy -> set field to "only me"

Or you can switch off displaying the info on the profile:
ES backend -> custom fields -> workflows -> profile type -> edit the phone number field -> view -> last option "shown on info view" switch if off.

Hey Henri,

Unfortunately currently that was not possible to configure to show some certain field for admin only, because those custom field is based on the current user privacy, if the user privacy set those `Textbox` custom field to "Only Me" privacy, this field will only appear to himself only.

I've checked on your current profile type custom field, it seems like there got a few custom field was used to Textbox field, example :
- Mobile phone
- College and university
- Graduation year

If you set that textbox custom field privacy from ES backend -> users -> profile types -> select your profile type -> privacy -> set "Who can view my textbox field" to "Only Me", mean all the existing textbox custom field will automatically set to "Only Me" privacy.

If you only want to set "Mobile phone" custom field to "Only Me" privacy, i would suggest you change these "College and university" and "Graduation year" field type to other, so that privacy changes only will affected for this "Mobile phone" custom field only.

Hope this will help.

By the way, thanks for sharing Sabih

Hi Arlex,

actually in ES 2.0x making default privacy for a field to "only me" made it visible for admins. At least this is working for me. I have used this to see the user's email address in the frontend without accessing the backend when logged in as admin. Or is there even a difference between admin and super user? Maybe it was a bug never detected.

It might be I missed up that option, perhaps you can share a screenshot to me so I can better have a look that option what you described?

Please be aware that I did it within ES 2.0x not 2.1x! I have not tested it within ES 2.1 yet...

Example of a user profile on my site:

Logged in as user:


Logged in as admin:


Set custom fields to show on profile view:


Set privacy for email field to "only me":

Oh, I also tested in Easysocial 2.1, it seems like this behaviour still the same, Superadmin always got right to see all the custom field on their user profile page even those custom field privacy set to "Only Me".

Excellent. That covers my initial request.

THANKS both of you!

Henri
