Standard Space Permission Levels

Jive includes several predefined space permission levels that you can assign to individual users or groups of user you define, such as a space Administrator or Moderator.

As described below, you can also add your own levels.
Note: To see the list of space levels in the Admin Console, go to the Permissions > Space Permissions Levels and then click the Standard Levels tab.

The following table lists the standard space permission levels, along with a summary of the access granted by each. See the table later in this section for details on specific permissions granted by each.
