Description

Purpose

Displays a group of user profile fields, depending upon the particular kind of user.

Note: If you have the LDAP package installed and have enabled LDAP profile access, the LDAP profile groups show data directly from LDAP - thus enabling users to view and update LDAP via their profiles. If you don't use LDAP groups, the data is only stored locally within Telligent Enterprise.

Limitation

You can only select one profile field per instance of this widget.
