Assigning creators for broadcast communities

In IBM® Sametime® Advanced, administrators can create and manage broadcast communities. Before other users can create or manage a broadcast community, they must be assigned the CommunityCreators role. By default, all authenticated users are assigned the role.

About this task

Assign or change CommunityCreators in the IBM WebSphere® Integrated Solutions Console.

Procedure

  1. From Integrated Solutions Console, click Servers > Application Servers > stadvanced_server_name.
  2. Under Applications on the Configuration tab, click Installed applications.
  3. Click Sametime Advanced application.
  4. Under Detail Properties, click Security role to user/group mapping.
  5. In the Mapped Users and Mapped Groups column of the CommunityCreators row, enter the users that you want to grant permission to create broadcast communities.
  6. Optional: If you have written the code to enable the workflow community API, then a designated workflow approver must be assigned the WorkflowApprovers role. In the Mapped Users and Mapped Groups column of the WorkflowApprovers row, enter the users that you want to grant permission to approve community creation. This setting also lets them approve chat room creation.
    You can find information on writing the workflow API calls in the Sametime Advanced Software Development Kit at IBM developerWorks® at http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus/downloads/toolkits.html.
  7. Click OK.
