“Everyone” if you want to display the field to the everyone site role - essentially all users.
“Owners” if you want to display the field to anyone in an owners role applied to a group.
Specific roles type the Site roles on who should see this section of profile fields
If you make this selection - the user will see a message indicating what roles the profile fields are shown to (see image below)
NOTE: In version 13 - you can create and mark site roles as private. If a role is marked as private - it will not show in the list.
If all roles are marked as private - the message that will be displayed is: “These profile fields are only visible to you and relevant administrators.”
Show For User Check this if you want this field to show for the general user. Typically this will be unchecked when there are fields just visible for specific roles or administrators.
Read Only this checkbox will put this section in read mode only and will not allow the users to edit the profile fields. (NOTE: do this when you have fields that are syncing with SSO)
