In Users & system administration, you can restrict access to the profiles and department information of users in different top-level departments. This can be done in the [Department access control] settings.

Opening the Users & system administration screen

When department access control is enabled, users in different top-level departments will not be able to view each other's user profiles and department information.
Users in the same top-level department can view each other's user profiles and department information, regardless of the level of their department.

Note that Kintone users & system administrators can view each user's profile and department information in Users & system administration.

When department access control is enabled, users in one top-level department cannot search for departments and users in other top-level departments.
Also, users in other top-level departments cannot be mentioned in comments.
There are also other restrictions on accessing user and department information. For example, users from other top-level departments won't be displayed on-screen.
For details, refer to the following section.
Actions restricted by department access control

The following tables show the actions restricted on each screen when department access control is enabled.
For example, the Kintone users & system administration table shows that, when department access control is enabled, non-administrator users cannot view the profiles of users from other top-level departments.

Restricted actions are the same for both PCs and mobile devices.
