1. A computer-implemented method of providing one or more displays of user profile information, the computer-implemented method comprising:
accessing a user profile table comprising a first user profile field, a first value of the first user profile field being used to provide a first display of a graphical user interface (GUI) to a first user who is not a member of a group;
creating a group table, associated with the group, including a group specific field added by a group administrator and configured to receive, subsequent to a second user joining the group, a second value provided by the second user;
receiving a first user specification of the second value of the group specific field;
receiving a second user specification of a field override defining a context for controlling application of the group specific field added by the group administrator; and
based on the first user specification and the second user specification, providing a second display of the GUI that is different from the first display by using the second value of the group specific field added by the group administrator to override the first value of the first user profile field, wherein the second value of the group specific field is used to present the second display to a third user who is a member of the group.
