Viewing users with site visibility

2025-11-13

Site owners and Account administrators can view and manage all identities that have been granted site visibility for a given site. You can use this list for auditing purposes or to remove site visibility for multiple identities.

What you should know

Any identities that are granted access to an area within a site before site visibility is enabled keep their access.
- These identities appear in the list of identities with site visibility.

Procedure

Click Organization > Sites .
Search for and select a site, then click the Site configuration tab.
In the Site visibility section, search or scroll to view identities with site visibility.
(Optional) Click next to identities that have been manually granted site visibility to revoke their ability to see the site's resources.
Identities that have site visibility because they are site owners, or because the site is their primary site, are locked. To remove these identities, you must remove their Site owner permissions or change their primary site.
