How many generations back does WikiTree "match" your ancestors to your DNA kit?

I entered my grandfather's gedmatch DNA but I noticed it is only showing up as a possible "match" on his parents and grandparent's profiles. I believe he could potentially have matches to people back 5 on generations, so wouldn't it be feasible to link his DNA to his 1st, 2nd, & 3rd great-grandparents as well?

Hi again Anonymous!

I mentioned setting the Privacy Level to the Pale Yellow level on a separate G2G message.  This would hold true for all direct line generations from the DNA test participant.  WikiTree needs to be able to see the Family Tree tab for all the direct line ancestors, so that means a Privacy level of Pale Yellow, Public or Open.  Kitty
