Create a community

Before creating a community, an administrator in a group must have the Communities Administrator role. A Communities Administrator can create a community to facilitate other accounts to collaborate with the owner account.

Note: An Account Administrator cannot interact with a community, only a user with Communities Administrator role in an account can create and interact with a community.

The Communities Administrator role can be assigned at the user or the group level. Using groups is the most efficient way to manage roles, and in the following image a group named Communities Administrators has been created to assign the Communities Administrator role to relevant users.

Once a group has been created, add users and assign the Communities Administrator role to that group. For more information on assigning roles and managing users, see User management.

To create a community:

1. From the Community tab, click Create Community.

   

2. Fill in the Community name and Description details and press Save.

   A community is created by the account:

   • The crown icon indicates that this account owns the community.

   • An email is sent to all the Communities Administrators informing that a new community has been created.

3. The Edit details tab enables you to edit the details of the community.

4. The Delete community tab enables you to delete the community.
