Who is this feature for?
Everybody who wants to control the visibility of sensitive data in the activity feed (like not to share data between departments or when setting up business units and the units have shared contacts).
What is the goal?
At the moment you cannot control who has access to all the sensitive data visible in the activity feed: if someone owns the contact or has "everything" or "teams only" contact object permission, that user will be able to see the activity feed. There is no way to distinguish between what is displayed there (and I don´t mean view filtering here).
You wouldn't want emails or meeting logs with confidential data being able to be seen by members of other teams.
What value will this add?
It would give a crucial security layer to all those cases when a contact has to be shared but data should be displayed restricted.
Examples for the solution:
There is now a new beta feature that adds Notes to the permissions and accessibilit can be set.
Also the associated elements on the right side of a contact record can be customized based on the needs.
Activity feed should have the same visibility control as well!
