Staff with the Manage clients and Manage client profiles permissions can change a client’s profile details at any time. Below is a list of the details that can be modified on a client’s profile, each with a detailed explanation about what this change will affect.
Customizable client profile field settings
You can customize most default and custom client profile fields from the Client Profile Fields page. For steps, see Manage and customize client profile fields. Each field has the following settings:

Setting | Description |
|---|---|

Visible to | Choose who can see the field:
