Enabling and Disabling a Community

A portal administrator, using either Portal Server management console or psadmin CLI, can disable a community. Likewise, only the portal administrator can enable a disabled community. Access to a disabled community is blocked to everyone including members and owners. An attempt to search for any content posted on a disabled community would yield no result. By default, a newly created community is enabled.

Use disabled.xml template to show how a disabled community would be presented to users. See Understanding Community Templatesto understand the display profiles for a community template.
