Bug

A user’s profile is still visible to the public despite setting the profile to private in Portal for ArcGIS. Based on the documentation, it should not be possible to see the profile.

Additional Information

This is by design. When a profile is set to private, the bio and thumbnail image are the only items that are hidden. The username, first name, and last name fields are still displayed. This is expected. There are various places in Portal for ArcGIS where the owner of an item or group needs to be displayed. For example, when accessing the item details page for an item shared with everyone, the item owner's username is listed on that page and the viewer has the option to click on that username in order to see the first and last name. If the profile is public, the bio and image are displayed as well.
