Visibility

Visibility of a story

Story/Tip Idea privacy determines who the Story or Tip Idea is VISIBLE to.

  • Someone who is the author of a story can always see that Story

  • For someone who is not the author of the story, then unless that person is an Active Beneficiary, there are several attributes that govern who is allowed to see a story in the places where it naturally appears. They are:

    • Story Privacy

    • Beneficiary Detailed Privacy

      • If the signed-in-user (or signed-out website visitor) has No Access or Headline Access to a beneficiary tagged in that story, then they will be unable to see the story, regardless of what the story’s privacy setting is.

    • If the user is an Active Beneficiary and the story is about them and they are not the author of the story: then unless the Story Privacy is Everyone the only thing that governs whether they are allowed to see the story is the Share with the tagged beneficiary privacy setting on the story

    • If the user is an Active Beneficiary and the story is about another Project Active Beneficiary and they are not the author of the story: then who wrote the story about themselves: then unless Story Privacy is Everyone the only thing that governs whether they are allowed to see the story is the Share with other Project Active Beneficiaries privacy setting on the story
