Directory And Privacy Controls

What this area is for

Your profile includes controls that affect how your details appear in directory views.

These controls are intended to help you manage:

• whether your profile appears in the member directory
• which profile details can appear when your directory profile is visible
• extra committee-directory visibility choices where committee appointments apply

Member directory visibility

The main directory privacy choice is the all-or-nothing member directory setting.

If you hide your profile from the member directory:

• your listing should not appear there
• field-level member directory visibility settings are ignored

If you leave your profile visible:

• you can choose which profile details are shown where that option is available

Field-level visibility

Depending on your account, the profile may allow visibility choices for things such as:

• current role
• employer or company
• SOLAS branch

Phone numbers and email addresses are not currently shown in the public member directory unless SOLAS introduces a dedicated public use for them later.

Committee directory controls

If you hold active committee appointments, you may also see a separate committee-directory section.

That section is separate from the public member directory controls and is intended for committee-facing profile visibility choices.

Managed fields

Some profile fields can be visible but not editable by the member directly.

For example, your SOLAS branch may be shown in read-only form and managed by SOLAS.

Best next step

Review your profile visibility settings in My Profile whenever you change role, employer, or committee responsibilities. If you need a managed field corrected, contact SOLAS.
