These topics discuss how to manage user collaboration:
If enabled, any user other than an outside user can invite others who don't have Oracle Cloud accounts to collaborate in Oracle Social Network. You can allow two types of extended collaboration:
Employee collaboration: these users have full user abilities.
Outside user collaboration: these users have limited access to Oracle Social Network content and a restricted set of abilities. Outside users cannot be given administrator or developer permissions. Outside users can be partners, suppliers, and so on.
For more information about the types of users, see User Types.
Note: Not all environments allow extended collaboration. If your system does not have this capability, the option does not display in the user interface.
To enable extended user collaboration:
lia.kuang@example.com
, put example.com
in the Employee Whitelist field. If you skip this step, you will be unable to log in to Oracle Social Network after saving your change and logging out.The following table describes the user settings for extended collaboration.

Outside Users |
In this section you can define which external email addresses can be invited as outside users to Oracle Social Network. |
Outside Users Whitelist |
This field is editable only if Invitations are enabled. If you want to allow users outside your enterprise domain to join Oracle Social Network, you must add at least one domain to the whitelist, unless the Invite Outside Users with Any Email Domain check box is selected. If the check box is not selected, invitations can be sent only to email addresses that match a domain name in the list. For example, if you specify Creating a new outside user account in Oracle Social Network triggers a corresponding account creation process in an external database such as an LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) directory service. |
