Overview of space permission levels

Jive includes several standard space permission levels, such as a Moderator or Administrator, that you can assign to individual users or groups of users that you define. Additionally you can create your own custom space permission levels.

When you assign permissions for access to a space, you can assign a level, and then further customize as needed with overrides for particular users.

Standard space permission levels
These permission levels are designed for common roles, such as a space Administrator, a Moderator. These permission levels control how users access space features at a high level. For more information, see Standard space permission levels.
Custom space permission levels and user overrides
Create a custom space permission level to allow fine-grained access to the 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). For more information, see Custom permission levels and user overrides for spaces.
Note: Projects and sub-spaces inherit the permissions of the space that contain them. Social groups, on the other hand, are independent of spaces. For more, see Managing social group permissions.
