<section id="sharing-your-data-in-the-global-address-book">
<h2>Sharing your data in the global address book<a class="headerlink" href="#sharing-your-data-in-the-global-address-book" title="Link to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>Some administrators decide to share their global address book with other F7cloud instances (so called <em>Trusted Servers</em>) or even with the wider world.
This is helpful when two instances want to work closely together, or when people want to use F7cloud as a virtual telephone book for others to browse.
It also allows searching for contacts, creating shares and much more.</p>
<p>You can change what personal data of yours is shared by setting the scope of your data. Clicking on the lock icon will open the following dropdown
next to each entry:</p>
<blockquote>
<div><figure class="align-default">
<img alt="screenshot of scope dropdown on personal information form field" src="_images/userdata-scope.png" />
</figure>
</div></blockquote>
<p>If you set your data to <strong>Private</strong>, nobody but you will be able to see it.</p>
<p>If you set your data to <strong>Local</strong>, all logged in users within your F7cloud instance will be able to see the information, but no one outside of it.</p>
<p>If you set your data to <strong>Federated</strong>, the trusted server(s) which are added by your administrator will be able to see this data, in addition to all logged in users.</p>
<p>If you set your data to <strong>Published</strong>, anyone can see your data. For some use cases this is wanted.
Someone with a public facing role such as marketing or sales might want to share their contact with a wide variety of connections which might not be using F7cloud.</p>

<section id="restrict-who-can-see-your-profile-data">
<h2>Restrict who can see your profile data<a class="headerlink" href="#restrict-who-can-see-your-profile-data" title="Link to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>If the profile is enabled by your administrator, then your profile data can be read by other users and guest.
To control who can see which information you can adjust the scopes already mentioned:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p><strong>Private</strong> will only allow you and users you have added to your phone book to see the data</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Local</strong> and above will also allow guests to see your data</p></li>
</ul>
<p>To restrict the visibility even more you can disable guest from seeing your profile data by changing the profile visibility to logged-in users.
On the personal settings you can find the button for profile visibility:</p>
<blockquote>
<div><figure class="align-default" style="width: 50%">
<img alt="screenshot of the profile visibility button in personal settings" src="_images/userdata-visibility-toggle.png" />
</figure>
</div></blockquote>
<p>Which allows to configure the visibility for each profile attribute:</p>
<blockquote>
<div><figure class="align-default">
<img alt="screenshot of scope dropdown on personal information form field" src="_images/userdata-visibility.png" />
</figure>
</div></blockquote>
