Member Directory

ZenCommunity includes a built-in member directory and profile system that helps users discover each other, connect, and explore activity across the community.

This guide explains how to browse members, understand profiles, and manage your own profile.

Overview

The All Members page acts as your community’s directory.

From here, users can:

• Browse all members
• Search for specific people
• Sort members by activity or name

Each profile brings together a member’s activity, connections, and personal details in one place.

💡 By default, only active members are visible to regular users.
