{tip:Security}Only people who are logged in (people in the {link-to:people Directory}people Directory{link-to}) can see your personal profile information, anonymous users cannot ever see it.
You can choose to set your personal space so it can be seen by anonymous users.

* The root of all global spaces is the {link-to:dashboard}Dashboard{link-to} and there is a link to this in the _breadcrumbs_ 'trail' at the top of every wiki page.
* You can access users' personal spaces from the main menu: view --> other pages --> people directory.
* Depending on the [groups|User groups] you are a member of you will have more [permissions] in some spaces than others. By default everyone is a member of the *confluence-users* group and by default members of this group have permission to view and make comments on every page. You have total control over your personal space.
* The entire list of spaces in the wiki is:

{subspaces:style=plain|sort=title|addlink=true|displayEmptyMessage=false}
