re: “allow_public_override=’true’” is set in the page

In nearly all cases I highly recommend not using the allow_public_override shortcode option. It is virtually never needed.

re: How can I make the “Department” field private

This fields can not be made private. The only thing that can be done is that the template can be be edited to the field is only rendered for logged in users.

Hope this helps!
