You can go to the Settings page by clicking on Settings link on the main navigation, in header. There under Privacy Settings section you can check appropriate boxes to provide access to each profile to whichever group you want. To make your experience easy, we have included some shortcuts to quickly check all or clear all checkboxes under it. For example:

Checking/unchecking the top most box under Primary Friends heading will check/uncheck all the boxes in that column.
Checking the top most box under Everyone including Public heading will check all the boxes in that column which in turn will check all the boxes available. But unchecking it will only clear all the boxes under Everyone including Public heading. This is the expected behavior as you may still want to keep all Primary and Secondary options selected.

For many fields, field level security has been provided which lets you control which group can access those fields. This can be used in addition to profile level security in settings page to fully let you control access to all your profile types. By default all the field level security are private, so nobody can see them until you give appropriate group access to those fields. For example:

You can check the box under everyone for a field to make that field accessible to all register yocial members (public).
You can check the boxes under Primary Friends, Primary Colleagues to provide access to a field, only to contacts in friends and colleagues groups.

Primary Friends: It means all your direct contacts under Friends group.

Secondary Contacts: It means all the direct contacts of your primary contacts.
Everyone: It means all the users of the site including guests.
