Filtering results by logged in user's Contact record or Account record – Soapbox Support Center

If your site has a password-protected area and user accounts are connected to a Contact record in your Salesforce instance, you have the ability to filter results of a Directories page based on a logged in user's Contact record or Account record.

This option for filtering records of a given object can apply to 1) the Contacts object itself; 2) the Accounts object itself; or 3) any object that is related to the Contact or Account object

To filter Directories results by Contact ID of the logged in user:

Go to Components > Salesforce Dashboard > Directories
Click Form Manager
Open the form containing the records to which you wish to grant edit access
On the Search Form tab, click Add Salesforce Element
Select the Contact ID from the Salesforce Field drop down list
For Hidden, choose Yes
For Default Value, insert the following variable, matching the exact casing:

{$ContactId}
Click Save

Filtering by Account ID

To filter Directories results by Account ID of the logged in user:
