Standard space permission levels

Jive includes several predefined space permission levels that you can assign to user groups or individual users.

You can see the list of space levels on the Space Permissions page in the Admin Console, on the Standard Levels tab.

Additionally, you can also add your own levels, as described in Custom permission levels and user overrides for spaces.
