What can external contributors see?

External contributors can see:

• Groups they have joined
• Content and projects within those groups
• Other users who are also members of those groups

External contributors cannot see:

• Spaces or projects besides those in their groups
• Community Overview page found when you click Home
• Global or public content, such as status updates, public bookmarks, or public documents and discussions
• Apps, but they can see images embedded by apps within their groups

What is unavailable to external contributors?

External contributors can use the community similarly to a standard user with the following exceptions:

• Update their status.
• Create public discussions and documents.
• See and work with private messages; only unauthorized messages are seen.
• See or use Jive Apps. External contributors cannot see or launch Apps or App Actions.
• Use Connects Services. External contributors also cannot see Connects Services in their user's Preferences page.
• See or use the Tools page, so they can't download modules like Outlook, Office, and Jive Anywhere.
• Access public external URL bookmarks or social bookmarking. External contributors can create and view internal bookmarks of Jive content.
• Become group owners.
