We are sharing parts of our SharePoint 2013 enterprise site with our customers. Security-wise this can be managed pretty well, but I have one problem. Customers do see employee photo & names (next to a post in a newsfeed) and they can also click that name to go to the employee mysite. Browsing to this mysite should not be possible, but, I do want the customer to see the employee picture in the newsfeed, and this picture also comes from a mysite location.

How can I set this up?

  1. Create a SharePoint Security Group and add all your customer's
  2. Edit your master page and add following script.

    _spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("HidePhotos('CustomerGroup')");
    
    function HidePhotos(groupName) {
        var currentContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
        var currentWeb = currentContext.get_web();
        var currentUser = currentContext.get_web().get_currentUser();
        currentContext.load(currentUser);
        var allGroups = currentWeb.get_siteGroups();
        currentContext.load(allGroups);
        var group = allGroups.getByName(groupName);
        currentContext.load(group);
        var groupUsers = group.get_users();
        currentContext.load(groupUsers);
        currentContext.executeQueryAsync(OnSuccess,OnFailure);
    }
    function OnSuccess(sender, args) {
        var userInGroup = false;
        var groupUserEnumerator = groupUsers.getEnumerator();
        while (groupUserEnumerator.moveNext()) {
            var groupUser = groupUserEnumerator.get_current();
            if (groupUser.get_id() == currentUser.get_id()) {
                //Current user is in the group. Remove Photos
                $('.ms-peopleux-userImgDiv').remove();
                break;
            }
        } 
    }
    function OnFailure(sender, args) {
        alert("Failed");
    }

    Security trimming by javascript is not really security, it is just a "hiding" Dec 2, 2014 at 14:38

    Indeed, i was not looking for such a javascript hack / hide script.
