To Create a Community

For the purposes of this example, the Admin user account will be used.

1. Choose Sign Out from the Welcome menu to log out of the Paul Tester account, if you are still logged in to it.

2. Log in using the Admin User account.

   This account provides full super user permissions for the WebSynergy example site.

   The Admin portal page is displayed.

3. Click Add Community in the My Communities application.

   The Community properties page is displayed.

4. Enter a name and description for the community.

5. Select a community Type.

   • Open — Authenticated users can join the community without explicit permission. Users logged in with a guest account can view the community but cannot join it.

   • Restricted — Anyone can request to join, but the community owner must approve the request.

   • Private — Only those users specifically added by the community owner can be members; no specific join request from the user is required or permitted.

6. Check Active to enable the community.

7. Click Save to return to the Admin main portal page.

8. Log out of the Admin User account and log back in to the Paul Tester account.

   You are returned to Paul Tester's peopleSpace page.

9. Click the Available Communities tab in the My Communities application.

   The new community is displayed in the available communities list.
