The basic access controls let you assign access to a community based on broad categories of roles in the community, like Guest, Member, and Leader. The advanced access controls let you assign access with finer granularity, allowing or denying access to particular organizations and even individuals among your portal’s users. Note that advanced access is additive to the permissions granted by the basic access controls. For example, if you allow access to all registered users with the basic access controls, and then allow access to an organization using the advanced access controls, then all members of that organization will have access, whether they are registered users or not.
To use the advanced access controls to set access for a particular individual:
Click the Community Settings tab in the Community Administration.
Click Community Access in the side navigation bar to make the Advanced Access option visible.
Click Advanced Access in the side navigation bar.
The Configure Community Access page opens.
Select Search Users in the pulldown menu at step 1 of the Configure Community Access page and click find.
Enter a name to search by in the search form at step 2 of the Configure Community Access page and click Search.
Select either the allow or deny button at step 3 of Configure Community Access page and click Update.
To use the advanced access controls to set access for a member organization:

Click Community Access in the side navigation bar.
Click Advanced Access in the side navigation bar.
The Configure Community Access page opens.
