This is the version 2, Improved Guide facebook final permits .
Permissions facebook:
All facebook users should know such as permits, but straw hot dogs, lazy, or simply because it can not be understood as given, we leave them as is, assuming that what you say Mark Zuckerberg ( which have longer facebook owner) is OK. Well it is not so! basically most of our content is public!, This guide made me think a bit long but worth reading at least once concientizarte at first may sound abstract, but then with examples is to understand the idea (I hope) , so a little spice to make it easy and fun to read.
As proposed by facebook to manage the issue of permits (although it is quite configurable) I think that not enough or not well defined and often confusing, this guide aims to show you can configure to where and how efficiently (can seem farfetched and it is but it is effective).
On the other hand it is noteworthy that with google google + and its conception of "circles" is basically the same thing but much more exposed and oriented, facebook never presented that way despite being very similar concepts.
Definitions: (are what I will use for this guide)
- Friends: More than friends are contacts, and are "persons" to which we have as the direct contact throughout this guide will appoints several times, always say imagine quotes.
- Friends lists:
google + circles? Within the group can optionally facebook friends for something we want, typically to group friends by categories: school, laburo, etc.. - Networks: Networks are generally at first were universities, provinces and countries today are entities such as companies, etc.. Basically there are groups of people (mostly unknown) to belong to this group
- Permissions: They are just that, you give permission to read and write access to your content networks, people and / or groups.
- Content / Post: Wall, reviews, photos, notes, links, etc, all that we have provided
free to facebook to share with our contacts.
Typical scenarios:
We grouped the friends in "college" and "work" obviously some classmates are more friendly than others and undesirable , And we want anyone to write on the wall at least a couple of monkeys for X reasons, it is with the group "work" quick fix: block some people level permissions, quick fix +: delete as a contact.
- We are a celebrity and want
raise a little ego have many many friends, the problem is that anyone can write on the wall of this character can therefore be used as advertising space to advertise or just to fuck me / us.
- We "hunt" in facebook, shooting at a crossroads minita which fell one in your tentacles, but it does not look like much to the picture of your avatar (commentary aside, the pictures of the avatars are usually the best photo of the person, some incredibly achieved a photo "good", after thousands of attempts to clear ... learn it once!) but lo!
is what you get decided to give it a try, you should at least be nice, after a few grogs one thing led to another and we know how the story ends. Now the thing this girl can potentially talk about your sizes virtues in your own wall, in many cases you will not want to do, but neither delete your contacts can serve as a backup You never know (obviously also applies to the opposite sex).
- For the antisocial (the question is that hell is on facebook, but Oh well) and just want some friends do not have access to anything and others access to anything in particular and others (one or two at the most friends) have access to everything.
There are clearly many more ...
Note: I must say that this guide is something that occurred to me to implement to me, although I'm sure I'm the one who "saw" in this way, and is inspired by the group management and permissions nodal Unix and other systems is Rarely did not promote facebook as does google +, even google shows it as one of the most important features.
Circles Lists:
What I propose is to separate two concepts using the lists of friends:
- Categorized lists: Work, studies, etc.
- Lists by type of permit: Types of access to your information (Setting permissions applied to lists, not people).
These two concepts operated out of facebook friends lists serve different "functions" is to define a category to which the friend part and the other will say you can do in your profile.
To give me some things, I gave permission number (level) and name, that shows where all the lists appear ordered as I want and do not appear in between, by this time wanted to see, knowing that first appear permits and then lists.
As an example I show my lists:
(To create a list you can do it from various places, for example from "Account", "Edit Friends" on the left "Friends" top button "Create New List")
're Obviously free to list the amount you feel is necessary, these are my own personal and they can serve as a basis or example.
Thus we have separated the types of relationships with friends, and permissions.
In my case, create four permission settings, 0-readonly: can only see my content, can not comment or write anything, is public data, 1-Limited: Same as 0 but can comment and see some basic personal information , 2-Normal: You have permission to practically everything, and as additional 3-Private: You can see very personal things, photos too drunk family photos children nephews, etc.. The latter can be combined with "2-normal" and "1-readonly", we'll see that it is.
And finally there is a permission that is implicit, and is not to be associated list, without which no permissions to anything, basically looks the same as if I had you as a friend, or even less.
The idea is to assign each of your friends at least two lists, one is the category (you probably already have this done, however not essential here) and the other is the permissions (this whether to assign, for each), can be hard I know, but can save you headaches in the future and you will gain peace of mind. you do not get me posteen maintenance fee for the baby!
The idea goes like this:
PERMITS / PRIVACY
From "Account", "Privacy Settings" we agree to everything related to permissions. (So I have it and it can serve as base):
"Customize your privacy settings"
To set permissions for all facebook is virtually the same way, from a screen like this (lock):
By clicking on the triangle unfold lock options, each option is not necessary to describe it ("just me" is hidden to everyone), it is understood, but is also the option to "customize" click " edit ", and here's the magic!:
By selecting "real people" we enable a box, here we enter the names of the persons to whom we want to give access to that content (you too will the networks you are with a check to give permission), you should sign in person by person to whom you give access, that would be extremely tedious and difficult to maintain, but also finally come to the rescue may use the lists!, then we define only the lists, which involves people who are on these lists. What I recommend is to fill in a permissive, or grant access only to such lists therefore would not be necessary to deny access to others, and all the rest that is not in the selected lists would not have access (somewhat complicated to explain here , re-read several times and repetilo aloud)
"Preview Profile"
To confirm that what we are doing this right at will, within each defining permissions have the option to "Preview Profile" (I recommend having another browser tab), from here we see at first instance and is our public profile, then we can see how we see this or that person, so this is only necessary to write his name in the box above. It is very important that as you play with the permissions settings go hand in hand looking like you "are" seeing.
I recommend having several browser tabs (chrome, firefox, ie, etc) with different types of permits (person), ie a person with no list, one with 1-readonly list, one with 2-Normal.
This is the screen:
This is a brief review if I do not end up with much more detail of writing this post, I recommend you to explore.
Find you on Facebook: If you want to be found with the search facebook, Sending friend requests: Who can you ask for friendship, Mailing, View your list of friends do not think it's good that everyone can see who you got on facebook, I put it to 2-Normal, View your training and employment: I put in 2-Normal and 1-Limited, Check your current city and home, check your preferences, activities and other connections: "All"
From this panel you can select default permissions and shows you how a table would be:
To apply these permissions to propose necessarily have to be customized, that is where the "juicy" all this mess this setting.
Recently added an interesting option:
"Allow friends of people tagged in my photos and publications to see." Do not have to explain much
Within customize settings are: (I mention only some)
- My publications: it becomes the wall comments, photos, etc, these permits are predetermined, which means that at the time of publishing can be changed from the lock icon.
- "Edit the privacy settings of photo albums and videos today." Is a link to the configuration of the albums, the permission settings of the photos is at the album, not individual photo.
(This is where the permission comes in "3-private" where some of your albums children nephews, drunkenness family, I put this permit and only very few contacts true friends have access.)
- Photos and videos that you have been tagged, recommendation: no way to tell you not labeled, but what if you can do is say who can see where you are content labeling.
- "Permission to comment on your posts," is just that, for some reason is tied to "You can see the posts of friends in the wall" if it is not active, can not comment ... no, it is rare.
- My friends can post on my wall: It's just an option of whether or not, in the case of "if" was enabled the next point.
- "They can see the posts of friends in the wall" in my case, only the "2-Normal", this enables to view and comment
With all this practically have our account set up correctly in terms of permits, it is not necessary to apply permissions per person, simply add a person to a predefined list of permissions already.
- Applications and websites:
For good measure in this post, I recommend reviewing "Applications and Websites."
In this section you can configure the permissions of the applications, I strongly recommend to remove applications that do not use (edit settings button and then on the X), they have permission to read content you even with no use it.
In "Information accessible through your friends" is just that, check it
Public search is that, to enable you to search engines like Google find.
Finally finished, I did a lot longer to write than I thought I wanted to be teaching in order to understand why put your own configuration as an example, I hope I have achieved.
Ok ok, may have exaggerated the title 
If you liked this article and think it is useful to spread, thanks
NOTES:
- Each time you add friends to remember to apply the ready! but not be able to see any of your content!
- In the chat you are the lists, you can hide them.
- The only downside I see to this approach is the "maintenance" when a person goes to "level" of friendship, is manual in this case the matter.
- This also applies to applications that have pages and profiles / tabs
- The issue of having a 3-Private, is that I can have people with permission 1 and 3, and others with 2 and 3.
- In networks (as in the example "UTN"), there are strangers, would not leave for almost nothing.
- Network as NTU is only by way of example, consider not there.
- Note that it denied the permissions takes precedence over the access, that is if a person is in two groups, one block, this person will be blocked.
- If you plan to apply this, believe that it is advisable to create lists of permissions and add one by one for each list, if ever you applied lists of any kind, you got the option to "add multiple" and select those people.
- Of course with this sent me on my settings in jail and you know how I have you set up, but I think it's good that facebook does not endorse at all and is good to know. That is, google it touted as a great feature, the difference is that g + is directional, while in facebook is bidirectional.
- The data show in the pictures are drawn, not real.
Enjoy!
