The Account Preferences tool provides options for telling other people about whether or not you're connected to the Internet and ready to use Groove. The options you choose affect the status icons that display next to your name in any Groove contact list.
Open Account Information and click the Account tab.
If you want to limit sharing your online status, deselect "with any other Groove user," then select one or both of the other two options, or leave all options deselected.
If you select "with any other Groove user," then the last two options are automatically selected. Plus, anyone who adds you to his or her Personal Contact List (for example, by downloading your contact information from groove.net), will be able to track your online status.
