Restrict the view of personal information on your My Site

By using privacy groups, you can specify that only certain people can view some of the personal information that you provide on your My Site home page. This can be useful when you want to share personal information like your mobile phone number with only your workgroup or your manager rather than everyone in the company.

  1. On any Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 site, in the upper-right corner, click My Site.
  2. On the Quick Launch, click Details.
  3. In the Show To column, next to the information for which you want to change the privacy group, click the arrow, and then click one of the following.
