About Content permissions

 

Some permissions are set to Deny by default while others are set to Grant by default. At the container level and the board level, permission defaults and role permissions are inherited from the parent level. In those cases, the Inherit button is displayed in green to indicate that the permission was set to Grant at the parent level or red to indicate that the permission was set to Deny at the parent level. As an admin, you can manage these permissions.

To manage content-related permission defaults at the community level:

Note: To manage this permission at a lower level, go to the [Place] Permissions page and edit the permission defaults for that level. To manage this permission for a particular role, go to the [Place] Permissions page at the desired level of the community and edit the permissions of the individual roles. 

1. Go to the Roles and Permissions page for the community.
2. Beside Community Permissions Defaults, select Edit.
3. Review permissions in the following areas:
   • Blogs
   • Content
   • Events
   • Ideas
   • Knowledge Bases

    

4. Select Deny or Grant as required.

Unless you have specified different permissions for certain roles or levels below the community level (a category, group, or board), these selections affect all members of the community.

Content permissions

While Forum permissions are granted by the Content permissions, Blogs, Event Boards, Ideas boards, and Knowledge Bases have distinct permission sections for content type-specific tasks. The Content permissions are provided for general content access and tasks and relate to all content types. Follow the links in the table below to learn more about the tasks granted by these permissions.
