# Hide admin user from directory

 * When viewing the members directory the admin account is displayed as a member,
   also when clicking on them their profile page displays. For security I’d like
   to hide my admin users accounts.
    Is it possible to specifically restrict an 
   individual user account from being displayed in the members directory or their
   profile being publicly viewable?

 * I have solved that by showing only selected user roles.
    I have members, admin-
   no-show, superadmin-no-show each with its role. only members are displayed.

 * That’s sounds exactly what I need but you need to give me a pointer to where/
   how I apply that setting.
    I can see nowhere to add that kind of setting and 
   no documentation that describes how to set that functionality. Where do I define‘
   admin-no-show’?
 * Thx

 * Thats just a name.
    I am on 1.3.88 btw. The first settings in my members directory
   adjusts which of the member roles to include.

 * Got it.
    Thanks [@brtech](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brtech/) I just
   hadn’t spotted that setting option.

 * Right now my Admins are automatically hidden, but I’d like them to be displayed.
   With the new version of Ultimate Member, I can’t figure out how to make that 
   change. It used to be that when you searched my state, I (as an admin) would 
   also show up, which I wanted. But now I no longer show up in any search results,
   because I’m an admin.
