+Restrict who can see your profile data
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

+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:
+
+* **Private** will only allow you and users you have added to your phone book to see the data
+* **Local** and above will also allow guests to see your data
+
+To restrict the visibility even more you can disable guest from seeing your profile data by changing the profile visibility to logged-in users.
