Hi There

We have identified that in Eightfold Sandbox environment, the users of Career Hub are able to search for other employees within the organization - and also view their personal details.

We’d like to restrict this access.

Please advise if there is a way to control the permission on ability to search other employees within Career Hub.

This situation is related to internal employees accessing Career Hub.

Hi ​@arulsubra, you may need global entity filters, not just the people_search access check.

So for a strict sandbox validation, test all three paths:

  1. People link is hidden from Career Hub nav.
  2. /careerhub/search/people?... or /careerhub/people/search does not load for restricted users.
  3. Direct profile links show only the intended reduced otherProfile fields.

Recommended sandbox implementation sequence

  1. Identify the restricted population field, e.g. location_country, employee_type, custom_info.talent_profile, business unit, etc.
  2. Configure career_hub_base_config > access_check > people_search.
  3. Wire top_nav People route to peopleSearch / people_search.
  4. Configure career_hub_profile_config otherProfile to hide personal-detail sections.
  5. Test with:
    • an allowed employee
    • a restricted employee
    • direct People Search URL
    • direct employee profile URL


If the goal is no employee discovery at all, use people_search: default_access: false, remove/hide the nav item, and strip down otherProfile to only the minimum fields required by the customer’s policy.
