# User connection

User connections is the base of the Opigno Enterprise social features - a user will see only posts created by users from their connections network.

In Opigno connection creates a bound between two **user contexts**, and it's responsibility of a learner area to get the actual information about the user by the context UUID.

<Note>
  When any query or mutation related to Opigno social features is called, it is required to have a user context associated with the `AUTHENTICATED` scope in the request.
</Note>

If hierarchy enabled in the backoffice, a user with **Administrator** role can configure user context visibility selecting one of the following options:

1. All other users from the same learner area;
2. Only users within the same hierarchy level.
