Customizing root space permissions

The community includes a root space, called community by default. From there you can add more spaces to create a hierarchy.

Fastpath: Admin Console: Permissions > Space Permissions

The root space is the parent to all other spaces and is designed to be a community-wide template for setting permissions in new spaces. When new spaces are created, their permissions can be based on the root space's, if only as a starting point to customize. You can customize the root space, setting commonly-used permissions that make sense for new spaces to have.

To customize root space permissions:

  1. In the Admin Console, go to Permissions > Space Permissions.
  2. Click Edit root space permissions.
  3. On the Default Space Permissions, configure the root space permissions for user groups and individual users.

The specified permissions are applied to all top-level spaces which inherit the settings and can be used as the default setting when creating a new space.
