Aurora: Manage Mentions permissions (admin)
As an admin, you can manage the permissions to allow members to @mention posts, members and places. The permission is enabled by default to all community members. To manage the ability for community members to use Mentions: Go to the Roles and Permissions page for the community. Beside Community Permissions Defaults, select Edit. In the left column, select Mentions. In the Mentions section, select Deny or Grant as required for Mention content, Mention places and Mention members. Unless you have specified different permissions for certain roles or levels below the community level (a category, group, or board), this selection affects all members of the community.

Mentions enable members to call out other community members and community content within a post. Aurora supports three kinds of mentions: Member Mentions Content Mentions Places Mentions Note: Product Mentions will be available in a future release. With Member Mentions, community members can call out other members in their posts and invite them to join the conversation. You might mention a community member when you know they can answer a question or provide valuable insight into a thread. Or, you might just want to make sure they see it when you want to say thank you or give public praise. Content Mentions enable community members to call out specific posts within the body of a post. Additionally, you can use Content Mentions to mention other places in the community, such as a specific category or board. It’s a way to quickly embed a link to other content in the community. Places Mentions allow community members to highlight specific locations, such as categories or boards, making it easy to reference and link to other content within the community. Mentions are supported in all content types and in replies/comments. When you enter the @ symbol while creating a post, suggestions are displayed in this order: Members: Participants from the conversation thread based on relevancy Content: Content you created, by recency Places: Places you follow Mention notifications When members are mentioned in posts, they are sent emails to let them know. The email uses the Member Mention notification email template. (If members are mentioned multiple times in a post, they are sent only one email.) Additionally, members mentioned in private forums that they cannot access will not receive notification emails. When a member’s content is mentioned in posts, the member is also sent an email to let them know. The email uses the New Content Mention notification email template. Mentions you receive are also shown in your community notifications (bell icon). Related topics: Manage Member Mentions permissions (admin) About Email Notifications
