Communities
Communities
Communities are a defined set of users that work together to achieve a common goal. Organizations have a need to manage different parts of their business in separate hubs. e.g. Marketing ideas need to be kept in marketing whereas HR ideas are kept in HR.
Communities allow companies to create communities of identified groups of individuals or teams. Communities can then work on specific objects and discuss and share them in a private area where they are not visible to other platform users.
For large businesses, this is an excellent option for managing all of their ideas across multiple departments in one platform. We can also invite customers or suppliers to join specific groups to collaborate on ideas and innovation, to deliver shared benefits.
A user may be designated a client administrator. A client administrator has privileges to create/remove communities and also add further admins/members to the community.

|
By default, an object will have no communities and is therefore visible to all users. |
Public and Private communities
There are different types of community that a client administrator may add.
The different community types control the access of communities to concepts within the platform.
Community Types
There are 2 types of community.
Public - they are visible to everybody within a company.
Private Only - hidden from anybody who is not a member.

An organization could create a community for financial assessment of a set of ideas for a campaign. This may well be a private community. An organization could create a community for Development which contains all development staff and development management. An organization could create a community for Product Management which contains product marketing and the product manager. |
Create a Community
Communities can only be created/removed by the client administrator user for the account

Notification emails will be sent when you make an admin or add members. |
The community Administrator can then control the members if this community as needed.
Once a community has been set up a view configurer can control who can see each view by assigning it a community and also edit the permissions of display attributes by assigning them a particular community.
