The Department Access Control feature enables Administrators to limit a user's access across departments. If enabled, information of users and departments is only visible by users in the same top-level department.
When enabled, users from one top-level department are unable to message or view the profiles of users from other top-level departments. Users are also not displayed in search results and cannot be specified as recipients of @mentions in comments. If there is a comment from a User in another department, the user will display as “User (not visible)”, rather than the user's display name.
Users within the same top-level department can view each others profiles, message each other, search for users, and @mention them, regardless of their child departments, locations, or groups or roles.
