Next you need to decide who can access all of the information that you have just set up in your PROFILE so let’s go and set up our PERMISSIONS.
1. From your PROFILE page, click on PERMISSIONS at the top. You will then be taken to your PERMISSIONS page. This consists of two columns which are headed PROFILE DETAILS were you can set up who can have access and see the information that you have just filled in for your PROFILE, and the second column is headed INVITATIONS AND COMMUNICATION PREFERENCES.
For now we will concentrate on setting up PERMISSIONS for your PROFILE DETAILS on the left hand side.
2. Click on each blue heading to go to the area where you want to set up or change your PERMISSIONS. These are as follows in the PROFILE DETAILS list and are as you set them up in your PROFILE,
NAME, CONTACT INFO, PROFILE PICTURE, ABOUT YOU, YOUR NETWORK, PERSONAL MESSAGE, SOCIAL, FAVOURITE THINGS, WORK INFORMATION and your EDUCATION INFORMATION.
All of these different profile areas individual PERMISSIONS are changed in a similar fashion and when you click on any one of them you will be taken to a screen where you can then choose from the following choices,
a) Everyone (Public) tick this if you want everyone including those who are not in your NETWORK to have access
b) My Network tick this choice if you just want those people and CONTACTS in your own NETWORK to be able to view the info,
c) If you tick My Network, then you will also be offered another choice of My EXTENDED NETWORK which will include the people on your own NETWORK plus the people who are on their NETWORK. This is a good choice for some areas of your PROFILE as it can help you to make new friends.
d) You can select people from any CATEGORIES if you have any set up such as your HOTMAIL categories, or your FACEBOOK categories.
e) You can choose from Individuals if you know their e-mail address, and you can also choose other CONTACTS such as those you have in your e-mail list or messenger list.
Once you are happy with your choice of who can have access to your PROFILE information in each area, then just click on SAVE and your PERMISSION settings will then be saved.
Next we will work our way through setting up a SPACES blog page.
