Space management is fully integrated into the Oracle WebCenter Portal: Spaces environment. For example, the person who creates a space is automatically the moderator of the space, and can grant any other user moderator privileges. Users assigned the moderator (or equivalent) role can add and remove space members, invite new members, provide and update space metadata (such as the space display name, description, colors and styles, and search keywords), manage the services available to the space, and establish user roles and permissions.

A space moderator has several options for populating a space: add members up front from the enterprise identity store or enable self service so that users can request membership. One person can be a member of several teams at the same time and can participate in any number of spaces.

In addition, space moderators can delegate specific permissions of the different services to users. For example, a space moderator might want every user to be able to participate in the discussions associated with the space, or not be allowed to upload new documents unless they have specific privileges. The important point to remember is that the flexibility is available; however, no changes are required to get started.
