For any space, you can assign various permission levels to individual users or groups of users.

Spaces are places where users can post content such as documents, discussions, and blog posts. You can assign users or user groups a variety of space permissions to control their level of access to the space.

Space permissions have various levels and customization options. For more information, see Overview of space permission levels.

Standard Space Permission Levels

Jive includes several standard space permission levels, such as a Moderator or Administrator, that you can assign to individual users or groups of users that you define. These permission levels control how users access space features at a high level.

Custom Space Permission Levels and User Overrides

Additionally, you can create your own custom space permission levels. When you assign permissions for access to a space, you can assign a level and then further customize as needed with overrides for particular users. For example, you might create a custom level in which people can create new discussion posts but only comment on documents (rather than create them).

To set up permissions for user groups to a space:

1. In the Admin Console, go to Permissions > Space Permissions.

2. Under View and edit a space's permissions, find and select the space you want to set permissions for.

3. On the Permissions For: <space name> page, review permissions to a group of users or individual users.

4. To assign permissions to a user group not yet listed:

   1. Click Add group.

   2. Enter the name of the user group to add.

   3. Click the Select Permissions button.

   4. In the System Administration Permissions for <user_group> dialog box, select check boxes for the permission levels you want to apply for the user group and clear check boxes for the permissions to be removed.

   5. Click Set Permissions.

      The selected permissions are granted to the user group.

5. To edit permissions for a user group already listed:

   1. Locate the group in the list.

   2. Next to its permission level, click edit permissions.

   3. In the System Administration Permissions for <user_group> dialog box, select check boxes for the permission levels you want to apply for the user group and clear check boxes for the permissions to be removed.

   4. Click Set Permissions.

      The selected permissions are granted to the user group.

Note: Projects and sub-spaces inherit the permissions of their parent space. Social groups, however, are independent of spaces.
