Information Disclosure in Adobe Connect

[Art-G]

I have a licensed Adobe Connect deployment using Named Organizers in a mixed environment where staff and students have user accounts.  The issue is that when a Named Organizer adds registered users to a meeting room they are shown the email addresses of all registered users as a pick list.  Even worse is that when the meeting invite is sent, all email addresses are sent in the 'To' field.  This presents an issue in that student email addresses are protected information under federal and state laws.

Are there any registry hacks or a work around that would mask the email addresses from the 'Available Users and Groups' selection window and place any invited participant's email addresses in the BCC field of the system generated invitation emails?

As I understand the various privacy laws, using Adobe Connect in an education or Health care environment is illegal so long as the email addresses are visible.

The e-mail address that is shown is the Username, which is the e-mail address by default. If you change the setting to allow anything to be the Username, then that would show instead of the e-mail.

This can be done at Administration > Users And Groups > Edit Login and Password Policies.

However this will mean that you will need to update everyone's login to be something other than their e-mail.

As to the actual e-mail, you may need to reach out to Support to see if there is anything that they know of to change the setting to do a BCC e-mail.
