User Profile Detail

The User Profile Detail component shows details about a user including contact information, profile photo, Chatter statistics, and topics the user is knowledgeable about. On other users’ profiles, it also shows a Follow button.

Note Beginning in Summer ’26, Chatter is turned off by default in all new orgs. For any features in these orgs that require access to Chatter functionality or the Chatter APIs, turn on Chatter by going to Setup | Chatter Settings and selecting Enable. For details, see Chatter Is Turned Off by Default in New Orgs Beginning in Summer ’26.

Chatter statistics for the site include number of posts and comments, likes received, followers, and people the user is following. Knowledgeable About shows top topics that people know about, so the site can quickly see areas of expertise. Topic knowledge is calculated based on factors such as best answers, mentions, or likes on questions and posts.

If nickname display is enabled for the site, the nickname is shown in place of the full name when a user views another user’s profile. The full name is shown when a user views their own profile.

1. Select the User Profile Detail component in the page you’re configuring.

Example Sample User Profile Detail component:

By default, all the information in a user’s profile is visible to all users in the site, including to unlicensed guest users accessing the site. To limit access to members’ information, use a custom user profile page layout. Hide fields that reveal sensitive information, such as phone, email, title, and manager.

Note Showing many user fields in a custom layout affects the performance of the profile view. We recommend showing no more than 8 fields. Similarly, consider modifying the fields for unlicensed guest user profiles to show only the necessary information. For example, you could hide the manager field. For detailed instructions on customizing page layouts, see Salesforce Help.
