Configure user visibility settings

Learn how to configure user visibility settings via the web app.

What are user visibility settings?

User visibility settings help you simplify collaboration while protecting your team's privacy. By limiting which users are visible to each other based on their site and group memberships, your team only sees what’s relevant to them whether they’re assigning actions, filtering results, or collaborating across the platform.

For example, a user assigning actions will only see other users from the same site or only groups that they're part of, helping reduce noise and keep things focused.

An example of selecting users from a list on the web app.

If you have "Platform management: Users" permission, you can view and select all users and groups in the organization at all times.
