Right that is a work around however I am still not sure why a user should see content that is by setting visibility to a higher ACL group prohibited to him.
Because is his profile.
As if you set the profile visibility for administrators, everyone can see your profile.
What you want to do is something a bit special, because this has little to do with user profiling.
in any case,
I understand that it is not clear, the labels and the Tip are a poor in our backend. We will improve in future.
