User Member of display

Question

Hey Guys,
Having a bit of difficulty defining a view and/or rules that we need to control the "Member of" display. We need the users via the self service portal to be able to view their own "Member of" groups. But we also need security to prevent users from clicking into other users and seeing their "Member of" groups.

Using Views will only allow me to specify whether the "Member of" section is displayed or not for all users including self which wont work for us.

Tried using the builtin users group "Domain User" with "Read" on Users and then another permission "Read 'Member of' Property" set to deny but this didnt make any change, users can still see each others groups listed.

Any point in the right direction very much appreciated

Hello Alan,

Currently, there is no such possibility.

As a workaround, you can remove the Member Of section for all the objects in the Web Interface and create a Home Page Action that will allow users to view groups they are member of. If this solution meets your needs, we will provide you with detailed instructions.
