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.
