I hid the built-in Users space (renamed to “People”), but for non-admin users it still appears in its normal place in the Left Menu. [image] [image]

To reiterate, Hiding any Space via left actions in left menu affects only your menu and has no effect on any other Users. You may think of it like Space Order or Collapse / Expand status for menu item.

There is a misconception. Hidden Spaces is only menu thing and it is per user. It doesn’t affect permissions in any way.

As Admin, I can Hide any Space, and it is then hidden from my other Users automatically. Why is this different for the built-in Users Space (renamed above as “People”)?

As an admin, I think it would be very useful to be able to hide spaces from non-admin users: to keep the presentation tidy for most users. to restrict their access to only those views designed for end-users.

@Matt_Blais what do you try to ultimately achieve by hiding the People space? If you don’t want all your users to see all other users (maybe for privacy reasons), the solution is to delete the smart folder “Users” in the People Space. Don’t worry, your users won’t get deleted, because they technical…

Actually, hiding the Users smart folder does not strictly prevent a member from seeing other members in the space.

[image] Silver: Could you point out how one could exactly discover other users? When I reproduce the steps you describe, I am able to see other Users via search. I’m not sure why you’re not seeing them. Perhaps the search is not properly indexed yet. Also if a User is visible on any entit…

Update: People menu can not be deleted anymore. Now all the emails are visible to everybody, regardless which spaces they are assigned to Previously, one could hide it pretty well by deleting the Users Space. We renamed all users to their first names so no emails were visible. I understand one coul…

@Silver Is Hiding the People space not a good solution for you? [image]

[image] Silver: Previously, one could hide it pretty well by deleting the Users Space. I’m not sure it was ever possible to ‘delete’ the UsersPeople space. [image] Silver: recently a change must have happened and now everything is completely exposed in left-hand menu which at least for u…
