### Materials Visibility

* **"Use settings from connected User Profile":** Check box for changing settings of the connected [user profile](/total-materia-integrator/creator/user-management/user-profile.md). Checked by default. For example, Administrator can view and export data for both internal and Total Materia Horizon materials when settings from connected user profile are used.
* **"Material Visibility":** Available only when "Use settings from connected User Profile" is deselected. This option allows setting the material visibility for internal and [Total Materia Horizon](https://docs.totalmateria.com/) materials for each user by selecting the corresponding check boxes. Additionally, users can configure permissions to "View and export" or "View" only internal and Total Materia Horizon materials by toggling the slider from the right to left.
* **"Material visibility in result lists":** Check box to select whether materials that cannot be accessed should be visible in results lists.
