Overview of Community Portlets

The community portlets bundled with the Portal Server implement the community infrastructure.

Community Info Portlet

This application lists all registered members of the community and allows the community owner to add and delete users from the community. As an owner of a community, this application allows the user to manage community membership, change access settings, and delete the community. Community owners can also transfer ownership of the community to a registered member through this portlet.

Registered users can join any community and leave a community at any time. This application allows users to join or leave a community, accept or decline an invitation to join a community, and request for membership to a community.

To allow visitors to search and join communities, the Community Info portlet must be in the visitor's display profile.

Community Portlet

Community Membership Portlet

Role Management Portlet

This portlet is deprecated and the equivalent functionality is available through the Community Info Portlet.
