Setting up non-member content editing

Community managers and people who have Create Group (Private) permissions can configure private groups so that group members can share specific documents and discussions with non-group members. This allows non-group members to help review and edit private group content but does not let them see any other content items that live in the group.
Fastpath:
  • On the Group Activity page: gear icon > Settings > Non-Member Content Editing
  • Advanced Admin Console > System > Settings > Non-member Content Editing

To enable non-member content editing for private groups in your community:

  1. Go to the configuration page:
    • On the Group Activity page: gear icon > Settings > Non-Member Content Editing
    • Advanced Admin Console > System > Settings > Non-member Content Editing
  2. Select Enable non-member content editing.
  3. Click Save.

With the setting enabled, owners of private groups see the option to enable non-member content editing when they are editing the private group. People with Create Group (Private) permissions see the option when creating (or editing) a private group. Note that Private: Unlisted, also known as secret, groups can't have this feature enabled, because it would expose the name of the group to users who were not aware of it.
