Identity accounts are required to login to Phabricator. The user
search on Identity however is restricted and only some profiles are
shown.

If memory serves:
- everyone can see limited information about developers
- eV members can see all the information about each other
- all other profiles are kept private, with only sysadmins and the
user in question being able to see the profile

It is configured in this way as we have received complaints in the
past for making email addresses public information.
This has especially been the case with Bugzilla, and everyone who logs
into the Forum has an Identity account (so similar groups of people
here)
