You can define relationships between people to make following easier. The relationships
you define are optionally visible in people's profiles. Using these relationships can
help community users stay on top of what specific other people in the community are
doing, including their changes to content, status messages, and so on.
Fastpath:
Although they're simple to use, user relationships require a little thought to manage
well.
On the Admin Console's User Relationship Management page, you can create new
relationships between users, or view or break (retire) existing relationships.
Creating Relationships
To create a friend relationship:
- In the Admin Console, go to .
- Enter the usernames of the people in the new relationship. If you can't
remember the usernames, click the magnifying glass to browse and search a list
of users; then, select the checkbox next to the one you want.
- Click Add to create the relationship.
Viewing and Breaking Existing Relationships
To view or break existing relationships:
- In the Admin Console, go to .
- At the bottom of the page, you'll see a list of existing relationships. You
can filter the list to display only the relationships that include a
particular person. (To do so, enter that person's username in the
Filter by Username box, then click the Filter
button.)
- To break a relationship, locate the relationship you want to break, then
click its Retire button.
