Managing a Profile

WikiTree is a global tree and owned by all of us. Each profile can have one or more managers (caretakers) that tend to it. So what is the difference between 'managing' a profile and being on a profile's 'Trusted List'?

• Profile Managers: The profile manager has primary responsibility for a WikiTree profile. The profile manager sets the privacy level and manages the Trusted List. Profile managers do not own that profile, they simply watch over it. Profile managers:
  • Receive merge proposals via e-mail.
  • Receive Trusted List requests via e-mail.
  • Receive notices about comments posted on the profile via e-mail.
  • Can delete inappropriate comments and memories.
  • Can adjust the privacy level.
  • Can add and remove other managers.
  • On project-protected profiles, the manager can edit parents, along with Project Coordinators and Leaders.
• Trusted List members: If you're on a Trusted List you have full viewing and editing rights on the profile. You will also get notifications if anyone makes changes to that profile. Trusted Lists are a tool for privacy. They're not meant for excluding descendants who disagree on the facts. You can request to be added to a Trusted List by clicking the request link on the profile. To view or modify a profile's Trusted List, click the Privacy tab on the profile. You do not have to be a descendant to be on a Trusted List. Unless the profile is for a living person you shouldn't deny a person the right to be on a Trusted List if they aren't a descendant.

Note: Your Watchlist may contain more than just your ancestors. If you want to see your ancestors only (without removing yourself from the other profiles) click HERE.
