Sharing private profiles

    Hello,

    I am just beginning to explore ProfileGrid and I am wondering if the plugin can be configured for sharing private profiles on a targeted basis. In other words: if a user has created a private profile, can that user still share the profile with individual (unregistered) people at the frontend, e.g. by sending them a URL? This kind of functionality would be extremely helpful for the usage scenario I am trying to develop.

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hello @wortmetz,

    Currently, the option to share the profile with individual user only is unavailable. Also, if you enable the private profile, only users can see their profile after login on site. 

    We have noted this requirement and forwarded this to our team for review and analysis.

    Thanks for your feedback. Thinking of a workaround, would a user be able to share his or her private profile by creating and populating a group of users with read permission? In other words, a user group only for exceptional access to the private profile. It is possible to configure a user with group creation permissions at all?

    To explain the intended usage scenario a little: think of a school in which parents can create profiles not of themselves but of their small children, and such a profile would be viewable only by a specific group of teachers. A parent would keep his/her child’s profile strictly private while allowing some of the teachers to view it. That is roughly what I want to set up.
