Selectively Private Collections in a Family Organiztion

[dh024 (David H)]

Hi @DaveinTN - welcome!

Yes, this can be done, but obviously you can’t test it with the free 2-person organization (although I am sure you know this already).

There are two ways to accomplish what you suggest:

1. Create a separate “admin” user who owns the family organization. Use this account only for administration. Then create a separate account for yourself as a personal account. This is the best approach, but only works if you have a small family and can afford to give up one license to the Admin account.

2. You can use your personal account as the organization owner, but you can restrict which collections you are able to view. In your case, you could set your permissions so that you will be able to view the Global and Selective1 collections, but not Selective2. See this post for more details:

If you’re seeing all their collections in clients other than the Web Vault - you can change that setting for your user. In the Web Vault under Manage > People, click on your user and change it to “This user can access only the selected collections” You’ll only see the assigned collections in all your clients, and if you need to see anything in a “private” collection, you would do so in the Web Vault, after switching to the Organization view.
