Owners can change the level of access that community
members have to a community activity by changing their associated
roles. You must be an owner of a community activity to manage its
members.
About this task
There are two types of community activities - implicit and
explicit. In an implicit community activity all the members of the
community are added as Authors to the community activity by default.
In an explicit community activity, you can select which members of
the community have access to the community activity. The selected
members can have Owner, Author, or Reader access. If you select three
members, they can all have the same access or they can each have a
different access level.
Procedure
To change an explicit activity into an implicit community
activity, follow these steps:
- From the My Activities view, open a community activity.
- Click Members.
Be sure
that you click the Members link for the Activity
Outline and not the link in the community card section.
- Click Add Members.
Select the member type, then the member role, then enter
the name of the person, community, or group. An owner can add content,
view and edit all entries, and manage the membership of the activity.
Authors can view content and edit their entries. A reader can only
view content.
- Select Allow all members of this community access
in the activity as Author.. If you want a member to have
a role other than Author, select one of these other roles:
- Owner
- Expands the access of the selected people. Owners can add content,
view and edit all entries, and manage the membership of the activity.
- Reader
- Limits the access of the selected people. Readers cannot contribute
to an activity; access is restricted to viewing content.
- Select the check box for each person for whom you want
to apply the role.
- Click Save.
