Configuring Privacy Groups in My Site

You can allow or deny access to your My Site site by any member of the larger site or site collection. This does not mean that everyone you allow to see your My Site will have the same view of it as you do. You can assign privacy groups to different pieces of information on your My Site so that those groups have different views.

Restricting Views of Your My Site

You can use Privacy Groups to filter the view of your site for different groups. This allows you to hide some or all of your personal information, depending on how you use those groups. There are five different default privacy groups you can set to either view or hide personal information:

Everyone

The Everyone group contains only those names or groups you have given permissions to access your site, not the general members of the SharePoint site or site collection.

Tip

Note that the following areas must be set to Everyone: Name, About me, Picture, Responsibilities, Assistant, and Account name.

My Colleagues

This group contains your direct reports, your manager, and your peers; however, you can add anyone else to this group.

My Manager

This contains the name of the person to which you directly report.
