23.5 User Visibility

By default, each Filr user can see all other Filr users on the Filr site.

In a large organization it can be daunting for users to sort through a long list of people they don’t work with to find those in their groups or on their teams.

Filr lets you restrict the users that appear in sharing dialogs and so on, to only those within groups to which a user belongs.

For a detailed explanation of Filr’s User Visibility feature, see Key Points About User Visibility in Filr in OpenText Filr 23.4: Understanding How Filr Works.
