Content visibility
The visibility of the content depends on the place where you published it. Different places have different visibility permissions.
In Jive, people post content in places. This means that all content (such as discussions, documents, and blog posts) is published in containers. A container can be a space, sub-space, group, project, or your own personal content. All places have visibility permissions set by the place owners that determine who can see the content posted in that place.
While it's best to keep things public whenever possible so that other community users can benefit from all of the content pieces (such as discussions or documents), there are times you may want to publish things only for yourself or a handful of other people. In addition, you may want to keep entire categories of content private, for example, accounting or human resources information. In that case, you can create a space or group with the content visibility options that you need.
For more information about permissions, see Managing Permissions in the Community Administrator Guide. For more information about the security of the community, see Security of content and activities.
Creating hidden content
Each user has their own personal container. Content that you set as Hidden before you publish it is stored in your personal container and is private to you. When you publish Hidden content, only you can see it as a content update in your streams; other users do not. For more information, see Creating documents for yourself.
Limiting content to a few people
You can publish content in your personal container and select to show it only to Specific People whom you designate before you publish. In that case, only you and those people can see the content and only those people can view it as a content update in their streams.
Limiting content to multiple places
You can also publish in one place and share it with other places. As long as those people have access to view the original content, they will also be able to access it from the place you share it with. They can find it in the Content tab for that place.
Limiting discussions and questions to a few people
Similar to other content types, you can publish discussions and questions so that only a select few can see them. For more information, see Creating direct messages and private discussions.
Saving a document or blog post as a draft
Another handy feature is Save As Draft, which allows you to share a draft of a document or blog post with other users before you publish it. This is helpful for collaborating on documents or blog posts prior to making them available to a larger audience. Drafts are not visible in any streams. For more information, see Saving drafts.
