In some scenarios, you may want to restrict how employees discover each other within Teamflect. Disabling the user search functionality removes the "User Search" button from the left-hand navigation, limiting visibility only to users already shown on an individual’s homepage.

Controlling User Visibility with Teamflect’s Search Settings

Step 1

Log in to your Admin Center at https://admin.teamflect.com and navigate to General Settings using the left-hand menu.

Step 2

Within the General Settings section, locate the "Allow user search" option. Toggle this setting off to disable the feature.

Once disabled, users can only view the profiles of individuals already visible on their Teamflect homepage. They will no longer have the ability to search for and navigate to the "User Page" of others.

Beneficial Use Cases

  1. Sensitive Role Visibility: Hide people from being searchable across the organization.

  2. Pilot Group Rollouts: Limit visibility during pilot phases before full organization rollout.

  3. Focus on Direct Collaboration: Encourage interactions only within a predefined team structure or reporting hierarchy.
