Selecting the "Yes, allow viewing of playlists" will allow members of this level to view all Playlists which apply to members of this level. Selecting the "No, do not allow playlists to be viewed." option will not allow members of this level to view any Playlist pages or see the Playlists menu item in any menus on the site.

    Playlist Privacy

    The “Playlist Privacy” feature allows you to select which options to give to your members in terms of who can view their Playlists. 

    If you select more than one option, then the selected options will appear in the member's “Add Playlist” or “Edit Playlist” page. 

    If you do not select any options, then the user will not have a "Privacy" section on their Playlist Settings page and will not be able to make any selections. The privacy setting will be whatever was last selected before disabling the options. If you would like Everyone (even user's not logged in) or All Registered Members to be able to see everyone's Playlists, you will need to select one of these options and only one. Selecting more than one will once again allow the member to select between the two options.

    Playlist Comment Options

    The “Playlist Commenting Options” are much like the previous Playlist Privacy; however, they apply to which members are allowed to comment on the Playlist entries.

    Allow to Choose Network Privacy?

    Set whether to allow members to set Network Privacy for their playlists.
