This is quite important for us as students have started to share their
assignments and they are visible to far too many people by default
within the same institution. Educating students as to the sharing
settings is a workaround, but I agree that it should not be enabled by
default.

Having access to full profiles, etc., is absolutely fine, but it's about
the default share settings; those should be opt-in rather than opt-out,
to prevent accidentally sharing sensitive documents by accident.

Title:
  Make sharing your profile page with your institution non-mandatory

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In a default Mahara installation, each user's profile page is fully
  visible to all logged-in users, and all members of their institution.

  There's a sitewide setting $cfg->loggedinprofileviewaccess which
  determines whether or not users are forced to share their profile page
  with all logged-in users of the site.

  But, there is no corresponding institutional setting to determine
  whether or not users are forced to share their profile page with all
  members of their institution. There should be such a setting.
