Account customization

You can customize account items per organization: whether each field is visible and who can view or modify it. These settings apply to every member’s profile/home page in that organization.

Configuring account items

Each account item has four settings:

Column Name	Selectable Value	Description
Name	-	Account item name.
Visible	True / False	Select whether this account item is visible on the user home page.
ViewRule	Rule Items	Select a rule to use when viewing the account item. Controls who can view this field.
ModifyRule	Rule Items	Select a rule to use when modifying the account item. Controls who can edit this field.

View rule and modify rule

• View rule — Who can see this field (e.g. email, phone).
• Modify rule — Who can edit this field.

This is separate from Permissions, which control access to applications and resources; view/modify rules apply to individual profile fields.

Steps

1. Navigate to Organizations in the Casdoor sidebar

2. Click on your organization to open the Edit Organization page

3. Scroll down to the Account items section

   

4. For each item you can:

   • Set visibility — Show or hide the field on the user home page.

   

   • Set view and modify rules — Who can view or edit the field.

   

Rule options

• Public — Anyone can view or modify this field for any user.
• Self — Users can only view or modify their own value (matched by user ID, or by org + username if ID is missing).
• Admin — Only organization admins can view or modify this field.

Example patterns

Here are some common configuration patterns:

Field	View Rule	Modify Rule	Use Case
Name	Public	Self	Everyone can see names, but users can only change their own
Email	Self	Self	Users can only see and change their own email
Phone	Admin	Admin	Only admins can see and change phone numbers (for privacy)
Display name	Public	Self	Public profile name visible to all
Password	Self	Self	Users can only change their own password

tip

Use Admin rules for sensitive fields like phone numbers, addresses, or internal identifiers that should only be managed by administrators.

note

These field-level permissions work in conjunction with the broader Permission system in Casdoor. The Permission system controls access to applications and API resources, while View rule and Modify rule control access to specific user profile fields within the Edit Organization page configuration.
