While this mod controls which information about branches can be seen by different classes of site visitors, The separate Regroup Person-Hide Branches mod controls which branches are visible to those classes of visitors.

Also, the Show Branch Users mod adds branch-assigned users to the list of branch members in the popup box.

This mod changes that descendant indicator to a down-arrow. It also adds an up-arrow as an indicator that parents have ancestors. The ancestor indicator is a hyperlink to a parents' ancestor chart.

See the mod options or the Wiki article for specifics.
