Privacy by membership level
Currently, the three privacy levels Me only, Friends, and Public, seem to be hard-coded. This is slightly too inflexible for my taste, I would like to allow users to also post something that is visible to only approved members, but not unauthenticated visitors. In other words, I would like to be able to define an additional privacy level that is defined by which membership levels (Pending, Unconfirmed, Standard, etc.) are required.
Concretely, many of my members would like to upload photos to share with all other members of the site, but not have them publicly visible (my site has only manually approved members). Currently, this seems to be impossible. Unless I make the entire Albums section invisible to unauthenticated users, which would be too extreme, their only choice is to make their content fully public, or share it only with people they explicitly added as friends.

There are more privacy levels but they are hidden by default.
For example you can enable "Members" privacy group (which will allow content to be visible for authenticated users only) by running the following query:
UPDATE `sys_privacy_groups` SET `active` = '1', `visible` = '1' WHERE `id` =4 LIMIT 1 ;

That is great, thank you! It's exactly what I was looking for. And thanks for the quick reply.
I would rephrase my feature suggestion, then, to simply make the configuration of privacy levels visible in Studio, too. I think the "Members" privacy group in particular is a very important one for niche community sites, and I assume a lot of future users would be looking for it. At least for me, it was important enough that it could've been a dealbreaker if I couldn't have found a workaround.

Thank you for the suggestion:

and once again: personal edited privacy group is by far better solution. Not IMHO, just look at your profile in FB.
But This discussion makes me to put it as suggestion.
