I added few extra fileds on the users public site like home phone, home address,etc and I want these additional fields visible only to a specific group of LDAPusers(say managers).Is this possible? if not what alternatives do i have?
It might be possible to edit the public view and add a web part that'stargeted. That web part would just display those fields. You'd need tocreate an audience of those managers (perhaps by A/D group).Also, it's important to note that you're not really securing theinformation, because I believe all properties in the profile databaseare available to all users if they know how to query it through a webservice. But it may give you what you're looking for.
Other option would be to *not* import those profile fields, and to instead writea custom web part to query AD directly for those fields. You could thenpermission the web part inside its own code and more closely control access.
Or you could go for a hybrid where you add a custom server control to thepublic.aspx mysite page for just the additional fields, and check the user's ADmembership to determine whether to display those fields. A server control canbe a bit easier to develop and test than a web part.
As long as they don't see it in the public site that works for me. But how do iedit public site of all the users?I have 1000 users. I can't go to each persons pubic site and make changes right.Is there a specific page where I make the change and that affects all the users?
When you as an administrator go to your My Site, then change to Publicview, then do Modify Shared Page, you're editing the Public MySite forall users.
I don't know what going wrong here.. I am administrator for the portal but whenwhen i navigate Mysite >> public i don't see "Modify Shared Page" instead i seethe following non hyperlinksShared PagesNo pages.
U can not edit public.aspx of MySite using sharePoint UI.
I'll have to check into that. I think the way we did it was going toFrontPage and editing http://server/MySite/Public.aspx, but I'm not 100%sure and of course any time you play around with that kind of stuff, yourisk making changes that might shnork your server.
editing http://server/MySite/Public.aspx that is what I was doing so far. But ineed a way to add a webpart to it and I don't have frontpage support.Where can I find a webpart that shows users LDAP attibutes?
