Research direction

Start by reproducing the problem in the user administration settings on Nextcloud Server 28 with the reported installation details, changing the Visibility setting and logging in again. Trace the settings flow to determine where the value fails to persist; done means the changed settings remain after closing the browser and returning to the settings.
