Managing Home Page Permissions
The Home Page permissions enable you to manage global permissions for features such as polls, announcements, and other content types on the community Home page. Additionally, they provide control over the permissions that fine-tune the video and update features. These global permissions are not limited by any container.
- Overview of Home page and Other Content permissions These permissions enable people to create and interact with content displayed on the community Home page, or fine-tune what users can do with updates in their personal containers and videos uploaded into the projects, spaces, or groups they belong to.
The community's Home page includes global permissions for actions like managing announcements, which is typically seen by everyone at one time or another. To optimize engagement, consider granting some kinds of access to users with active roles in the community, such as allowing community managers to create announcements. Broader access for activities like voting in polls and rating videos can also enhance community involvement.
