Assign Profile Tab Visibility to a Group

For users of a group to be able to see a profile’s attribute tab when they are viewing a repository based on that profile, they must have visibility for that tab enabled. Note that setting a tab’s visibility does not change the security settings for the tab. Setting the visibility of a tab only makes the tab visible.

To grant visibility for a tab:

  1. Open the Groups tab by opening the Feature Sidebar, opening the Administration tab, opening the Users and Groups folder, and selecting Groups.
  2. The Groups tab will open. Select the group whose visibilities you wish to edit, and click the Display Attribute Tabs button on the Groups tab’s Activity Bar.
  3. The Set Display Attributes tab will open. It displays a list of all the profiles. To see or hide the attribute tabs for a profile, use the Expand All or Collapse All buttons on the Display Attributes tab's Activity Bar, or click the + or - symbols to expand or collapse a profile's list of tabs.
  4. Check and uncheck profile tabs to grant or revoke visibility to the user group.
  5. To save your changes, click the Save button on the Set Display Attributes tab’s Activity Bar.
  6. To exit the Set Display Attributes tab, close the tab.
