At the Ideas board level, the community includes these ideas board-specific permissions:
You can modify these permissions at various levels or assign permissions based on role. We recommend not altering these permissions unless you have a particular scenario where you want to modify the default permissions for specific members.
Let’s take an example, where you want to deny the See ideas board permission for an Ideas board. This is granted by default at other community levels. In this scenario, the permission you set at Ideas board level overrides the default community permission.
To modify a permission at specific community level:
- Sign in to the community as an Admin.
- Open the Account menu and click Settings.
- Go to the Community Structure page and click the Ideas board whose permissions you want to modify.
- Go to the Ideas Board Permissions and then click Edit next to the Ideas Permission Defaults.
- In the Boards section, set the See ideas board permission to Deny.
Grant Ideas-specific permissions to a role
- Sign in to the community as an Admin.

- Click Edit next to the role you want to assign the permission.
- Scroll down to the Ideas section and set the permissions.
