PERMISSION NAME PERMISSION DESCRIPTION CATEGORY
Bio About - View

Enables user to view the Bio page for users within their permission constraints. This permission must be enabled to view the Transcript page within Universal Profile. If a user does not have this permission and they click a person's name or user photo within the Universal Profile, then the Bio page will not open.

On the Learner Home page, this permission also allows end users to view the Completions & Hours field, the training sidebar, and the Continue Learning carousel.

This permission can be constrained by Employee Relationship, OU, User's OU, User's Direct Reports, User Self and Subordinates, and User. Note: For security purposes, this permission is constrained to User Self and Subordinates by default. However, the permission constraints can be modified to allow users to view the Bio About page for other users.

To accept or ignore a pending connection request, select the appropriate button on the user ID card of the pending connection.

  • If the request is accepted, the user is added as a connection.
  • If the request is ignored, the connection request is moved into the Ignored connection requests section at the bottom of the page.

An ignored connection request can be accepted. To accept an ignored connection request, select the Accept button on the user ID card of the ignored connection.

In addition, a connection request can be accepted when viewing the Universal Profile - Bio page for a user who has sent you a connection request. If the user whose page you are viewing has sent you a connection request, but you have not yet responded, then selecting Accept confirms the connection and you are immediately connected. Accepting a connection request from a user automatically follows the user.
