Creating custom space permission levels

You can create a custom space permission level that allows fine-grained control of a space. For example, you might create a custom level in which people can create new discussion posts but only comment on documents (rather than create them).

Fastpath: Admin Console: Permissions > Space Permission LevelsAdmin Console > Permissions > Permission Levels.

For more information about custom space permission levels, see Custom permission levels and user overrides for spaces.

To create a custom space permission level:

  1. In the Admin Console, go to Permissions > Space Permission Levels.
  2. On the Custom Levels tab, click Create new permission level.
  3. In the Create a Custom Permission Level dialog box, enter a name and description for the permission level.

    These help other administrators know the purpose of the new level.

  4. Under Access and administration, select a category for the level, then choose from among the options in the category.
  5. Click Save.

Now you can assign the custom level to an individual user or a user group, then configure the space's permissions to include that user or user group.
