Securing Community with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Security is an important aspect of any community. To provide an additional layer of security for user accounts with privileged access rights within the community (usually Admins), Khoros has introduced Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) support for communities. MFA increases user account security by requiring additional verification factors to prove a user’s identity when signing into the community application. Khoros provides MFA via the authenticator app mechanism. Once MFA is enabled for a community, all privileged users (identified by the system on the basis of twenty six critical user permissions) will be prompted to set up MFA for their accounts. Users will provide their mobile number, and scan a QR code to add the Khoros community account in an authenticator app of their choice (Google authenticator/ Microsoft authenticator/ Authy, etc). When these users login to the community, in addition to their username and password, they will have to go through another layer of authentication where they will be entering a Time-based One-Time Passcode (TOTP) from the authenticator app. Post verification, the user will be logged into the community. First time setup: Subsequent logins: Communities can opt for MFA. Open a Support ticket to enable MFA for your community. MFA support is currently available for non SSO communities. SSO Communities should configure MFA at their end with the SSO provider. You can follow the links below to Learn more about MFA.

A big problem in all kinds of communities is spam. At best, it clutters up your community with useless content, and at worst it exposes your users to threats and offensive content. Moderators have to spend significant time cleaning up posts, flagging spam, and reviewing posts marked as spam by the system for any legitimate content that should be restored. To help address these challenges we have introduced several enhancements to make it easier to manage spam on your community. Spam Quarantine Page The Spam Quarantine page lists the posts that were identified as spam and redirected to quarantine. With the new Spam Quarantine page you can - Select multiple posts to mark them as Not Spam if they were mistakenly marked as spam. See whether a post was auto classified as spam by the system, or by a moderator. Filter out all the auto classified posts for quick review. Select multiple posts and Hide them. The spam posts that you hide will not show up on the Spam Quarantine page. By doing so, you can avoid re-evaluating them for their content. However, the hidden posts will show up on the search results when you search in the Spam Quarantine page. Ability to mark all the posts of a user as spam while banning the user from your community While banning a user from the user’s profile page, check the Mark all content as spam option to mark all the posts of that user as spam and move them to Spam Quarantine. This also deletes all the Private Messages sent by that user. Ensure that the Match exact username and Match exact email address checkboxes are selected and the user details are of the user whose profile page you are on. Deleting Private Messages sent by a member while marking all their posts as spam Earlier, the Mark all content as spam option to mark a member’s posts as spam, did not handle the user’s private messages. You had to manually delete all the private messages from that user. We have now extended this functionality to delete all the private messages sent by the user. This option is available under the Moderator Controls section in the user’s profile page. This will be useful in scenarios when community members are spammed via private messages. We have also enhanced the spam detection logic so that legitimate posts are not marked as spam when they are edited and published multiple times. These enhancements are available to all communities.

Active communities tend to get cluttered very quickly with a lot of content. After a while, some of the content becomes obsolete, inactive, or irrelevant and should preferably be archived. Good content hygiene is important to keep content and conversations fresh and relevant. Admins and moderators should regularly review site content and archive content that is no longer accurate, timely, or relevant. To address this, we had earlier introduced Content Archive in Communities. However, with the initial Content Archive release, you could archive only one topic at a time. We have now released the ‘Bulk Content Archive’ feature in communities, significantly improving the archiving experience, and making it easier to find and archive stale content in a few clicks. With Bulk Content Archive, you can: Specify criteria to search for archivable community content, using filters such as type of content, age, author, recent activity in terms of number of views and replies Review the matching content and select all or a few of the matching results to be archived Archive the selected topics in bulk The below screenshot shows the search filters available and a table that shows the status of each search. The below screenshot shows the topics retrieved for one of the searches. To enable Bulk Archive for your community, upgrade to version 22.2 or above and contact Support. From version 22.7 onwards, it is enabled by default.

bkling Using the page builder options, you could change the widget configurations, add additional widgets and change the general look and feel of the page. Once Aurora Dev Tools are available, more custom development on the pages would be possible. Could you share any changes/additions you have in mind that you'd like to see in the Tags landing page?ViewsSign in to react to this postCommentsRe: View community posts based on tags

Hi JasonHill , the fix will be back ported for all. You need not file a support case.ViewsSign in to react to this postCommentsRe: Khoros Communities 22.4 Release
Hi StanGromer , if your invitations mode setting is set as 'Private message' then community users will receive PM invites for Group hubs. Along with this, they will receive a PM notification email as well which contains the body of the PM invite. If the setting is ' Emails' , then community users and non-community members both will receive Email invites, whether you provide usernames or email addresses. If you are observing any deviation in the behaviour, please raise a support ticket with the details and our team could look into it.ViewsSign in to react to this postCommentsRe: Khoros Communities 22.4 Release
