Implement access control on the profiles to allow users to restrict who can see their profile / parts of the profile.

Things to restrict by:
- viewer is a buddy
- viewer is a ?? via user relationships
- viewer has role X
- Viewer is in OG X / same OG as profile user

How to restrict?
- Setting in panels content type (would need to be written)
- CCK group / fields (cck_field_permissions)
- Make each profile node an OG and use its permissions
- Theme level

I'm leaning towards adding the access control per panels content type. This fits in nicely with my plan to eventually allow editing of profiles via a panels interface. Users would then be able to set visibility of each content they add. The code for this doesn't exist, yet. I need to discuss with merlin about how feasable it is.

Very interesting! Great ideas Michelle!

I'd be willing to help test. Just let me know when I can help.

For OG profile restrictions, sounds like taking a look at OG Roles and OG User Roles would be helpful.

For the short term, I'm going with http://drupal.org/project/cck_field_privacy

I'll explore other options in the future, but I have a lot of other things to do first.
