Workflow: Create a community

To begin the process of sharing data, create a new community and invite other tenants to join.

Tip: Looking for instructions on how to join a community? See Workflow: Join a community.

Prerequisites

To create a new community, you must:

• Be assigned community administration permissions.

• Have the email address for a user that is assigned community administration permissions from the tenant that you are inviting to the community.

Create community outline

Complete the following procedures to start a new community and invite other tenants.

• Create a community

  The first part of establishing a community is to create it. When you create a community, you are prompted to define a community name and description, the user roles that have administrative permissions within the community for your tenant, and the users and groups considered Community Members within your tenant.

• Invite a tenant to a community

  This procedure provides instruction on how to invite other tenants to join your community. After sending an invitation, wait for the invited tenant to accept it. Once the invited tenant accepts, you can confirm the tenant's participation.

• Enable stream sharing permissions

  Manage permissions for data streams to allow Community Members from your tenant to share streams with the community.

  Communicate to your tenant data stewards that your tenant's data streams are available to share into a community. For more information about sharing streams, see Share streams.
