If the capability is applied at the course level, for example a user is enrolled in a course as a student or teacher, then the user can view other users' course profile pages
If the capability is applied at the system level, for example a user has the system role of manager, then the user can view full profile pages
This capability is allowed for all default roles except the authenticated user role
