Pause sharing a community

Community Administrators can temporarily pause the data streams that their tenant is sharing into a community so that other tenants cannot access them.

Prerequisites

You must be assigned a user role with community administration permissions.

Pause sharing

To pause sharing data streams from your tenant into a community, follow these steps:

1. In the left pane, select Data Management > Communities.

2. Select the community that you want to pause sharing for and choose Community Details.

3. Select More Options > Pause Sharing.

4. In the confirmation window, select Pause.

   Your tenant pauses sharing for all shared data streams and the tenant status updates to Sharing Paused.

   Note: The status immediately updates to Sharing Paused, but it may take up to five minutes to take effect.

Resume sharing

To resume sharing all shared data streams from your tenant with the community, follow these steps:

5. In the left pane, select Data Management > Communities.

6. Select the community that you want to resume sharing for and choose Community Details.

7. Select More Options > Resume Sharing.

8. In the confirmation window, select Resume.

   Your tenant resumes sharing for all shared data streams and the tenant status updates to Sharing Active.

   Note: The status immediately updates to Sharing Paused, but it may take up to five minutes to take effect.

Where can I view tenants that have sharing paused?

You can view that tenants have paused sharing into a community from either the Communities page or the Community Details page.

From the Communities page, each tile displays if there is one or more tenant in the community that has paused sharing.
