To do so, go to People \> Settings \> People Attributes. Click on the name of the People Attribute you want to edit, and set the visibility/security level.   Any attribute you want to be available for editing by the guest/member should be set to the Guest or Member level.  If you do not wish for an attribute to be visible by the Member, set that attribute to Leader, Coach, Staff (or higher) level. ![Screenshot 2026-04-17 115308](https://help.churchteams.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-04-17%20115308.png?width=670&height=298&name=Screenshot%202026-04-17%20115308.png) You (staff) now have the option to review any member updates before they are posted to the Person's Profile. To enable this setting, go to Settings \> Accessibility from an admin-level login.  Check the box to require approval of any member-initiated update.  An email will be sent to the email address you enter in the Notification Email field. The email will contain the original member information and the pending updates, along with a link to approve or deny the update.  *Please note that the approval requirement is off by default and must be enabled. Otherwise, any member-initiated updates will be posted to the profile immediately.*    - [Getting Started](https://help.churchteams.com/knowledge/getting-started?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Resources](https://help.churchteams.com/knowledge/getting-started?hsLang=en#resources) -
