Role control of people directory

Would it be possible to limit who can see the people directory? Either based on role or better still on team leader.

So, to flesh out this idea:

1. If team leaders couldn't see the people directory, then they wouldn't be able to add additional people to their teams.
2. Would this mean that wherever people appear, whether it be in the rundown, etc-- they would not see names, or just not be able to see contact details?
3. Is there a reason that you wouldn't want contact details available? Isn't this pretty much standard in a church-- most churches publish directories of their adherents/members, right?

Maybe if you could describe the purpose of this, I might be able to come up with an alternative that works for all churches?

I think it would be a good option for those who use this site for services other than regular church services. For example, we use this for Celebrate Recovery and not everyone is a member of our church and would not want their contact info available.
Maybe make an option where only admins and/or managers can see info (other than their name and their role).

OK, so it's okay to see names in drop downs, but just not contact info?

And I assume then that a manager of a role wouldn't be able to expand their team by choosing new roles?

If they did, then they would be able to see the contact info for that person, right?

yes, the only people that would be allowed to see contact info would be admins, managers and team leaders. Any one can see the list of people in the directory or any of the drop down lists.
Again, this would just be an option in account settings.

OK, this is now possible, and is in preview mode -- I will move it to live in a few days-- there are a few new features in there.

You can turn it on in settings/options.

I'd appreciate you trying it out and giving me feedback before it goes live.
