Setting permissions for spaces

Here you can find how to specify who can see reports for a particular space or all place-level reports.

Fastpath: Admin Console: Permissions > Space Permissions

If you want a user or user group to view reports for a particular space, you need to assign them permissions in that space. You do this by editing the space's permissions and then either creating a user override or adding a group. Similarly, setting permissions for the default space allows access to all community places which inherit default space permissions.

Note that only space owners and administrators or users with Full Control override for spaces can access place-level reports.

For more information about permissions in Jive, see Managing permissions in the Cloud Community Manager Help.

Setting permissions for a single user

To set permissions for a single user:

  1. In the Admin Console, go to Permissions > Space Permissions.
  2. Under View and edit a space's permissions, type or browse for the space to specify permissions for the space.

    This opens the overview of the space permissions.

    Alternatively, click Edit default space permissions under Default space permissions to set up access to all spaces which inherit default space permissions.

  3. Under User Overrides, click Create a user override.
    Note: If you don't see Create a user override, you may need to click Customize this space's permissions at the top of the page.
  4. In the box, start typing the name of the user and then select their name from the drop-down list.
  5. Click Set exception to view the permissions you can set.
  6. In the Set Exception dialog box, select User can manage space (select for options) and select the Full Control check box.
  7. Click Save.

Setting permissions for a user group

To set permissions for a user group:

  1. In the Admin Console, go to Permissions > Space Permissions.
  2. Under View and edit a space's permissions, type or browse for the space.

    This opens the overview of the space permissions.

    Alternatively, click Edit default space permissions under Default space permissions to set up access to all spaces which inherit default space permissions.

  3. Under Groups with access, click Add group.
    Note: If you don't see Add group, you may need to click Customize this space's permissions at the top of the page.
  4. In the box, start typing the name of the group and then select the group name from the drop-down list.
  5. In Select Permission Level, select Administer.
  6. Click Add Group.
