Before you perform this procedure, confirm that:

  • You have read the topic Manage personalization policies.

  • Your system is running either the Standard or Enterprise version of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.

Important

Administrators must have access to the Shared Services Provider (SSP) administration site, and must have the Manage User Profiles permission enabled to complete this procedure.

To edit personalization policies

Use this procedure to edit personalization policies.

Edit personalization policies

  1. On the SSP home page, in the User Profiles and My Sites section, click Profile services policies.

  2. On the Manage Policy page, click the policy that you want to set, and then click Edit Policy.

  3. On the Edit Policy page, in the Policy Settings section, from the Policy Setting menu, select the policy setting for the feature or property, as follows:

    • Click Enabled to enable the information to be shared by users other than the SSP administrator. The visibility of enabled features is configured in the Default Privacy Settings menu. This option is only available for policies for features and not policies for user profile properties.

    • Select Disabled to prevent anyone but the SSP administrator from viewing the property or feature.

  4. From the Default Privacy Setting menu, select the people who can view information for the feature or property, as follows:

    • Click Only Me to limit visibility to the user.

    • Click My Manager to limit visibility to the user and the user's manager.

    • Click My Workgroup to limit visibility to the user and all users who report to the same manager.

    • Click My Colleagues to limit visibility to the user and all colleagues for that user.

    • Click Everyone to share the information with all users who have the Use personal features permission.

  5. To enable users to change the default privacy setting, select the User can override check box.

  6. To enable a property to be available in user information lists for SharePoint sites other than My Site, select the Replicable check box. This property and its values from the user profile will be replicated to other sites.

    Note

    If you clear a check box that has already been selected, any information that was replicated before the change will remain on other SharePoint sites until it is changed on each site. This can occur during deployment if you clear a check box for a property that is replicable by default and the property has already been imported from directory services or the Business Data Catalog.

  7. Click OK.
