Overview of permissions by place
Permissions are different depending on the place you assign them — for example, in a space, blog, or social group. You can control user access to administrative settings, spaces, blogs, social groups, and content by granting or revoking permissions to individual users or groups of users that you define.
System Administration
These permissions allow users administrative and moderation permissions to system-wide settings. Most of the permission levels available here provide access to the Admin Console. With the exception of the Full Access permission level, these don't provide access to content. You can't break out the bundled permissions in the administrative area (as you can with space permissions). For more information, see Managing System Administration permissions.
Spaces
These permissions allow users administrative or content moderation permissions in a space. Projects contained by a space inherit the permissions of their container space. You can assign users or user groups a variety of space permissions to control their level of access to the space. For more information, see Managing space permissions.
Blogs (global)
These permissions allow users to view, create, and comment on global blogs, such as system and personal blogs, neither of which belong, strictly speaking, to a place. This leaves out blogs in spaces, social groups, and projects, whose permissions are managed in different ways as described in Managing blog permissions.
Social Groups
These permissions allow users to view and create social groups. Projects contained by a group inherit the permissions of their container group. In social groups, users can create content such as documents, discussions, and blog posts, but whether users can view, create, or manage social groups is controlled by permissions.
For more information, see Managing social group permissions.
Home Page and Other Content
These permissions allow users to create and interact with content that can appear on the community's home page and in the user container, including announcements, polls, and videos. The Home Page permissions enable you to manage global permissions for features such as polls and announcements on the community Home page. For more information, see Managing Home Page Permissions.
