Setting up Social Group Permissions for User Groups

Overview

This article provides the process for assigning permissions on a 'Social Group' to a user group not having those already. The article also provides the procedure for editing such permissions for a user group which already has those assigned.

Solution

You can assign permissions on a 'Social Group' to a group of users, which makes the process - of having to do it for multiple users - faster and easier. Please note that the user group must exist before you can assign it permissions.

Note: Social Group permissions determine whether or not users may read or create social groups. These permissions apply system-wide. You cannot modify permissions for individual social groups.

To set up permissions for a user group on a social group:

1. Navigate to Admin Console > Permissions > Social Group Permissions.
2. On the Permissions For: <social group> page, under Groups with access, review permissions for user groups, and:
   • To assign permissions to a user group not yet listed, you:
     1. Click Add Group
        
        
     2. Enter the name of the user group to add.
     3. Click the Select Permissions button.
        
     4. Select or unselect checkboxes (in the Social Group Permissions for <user group> dialog box) for the permissions you want to apply or remove respectively. Then click on Set Permissions
        
        
        
   • To edit permissions for a user group already listed, you:
     1. Locate the group in the list.
     2. Click Edit Permissions, next to the group's name.
        
     3. Select or unselect checkboxes (in the Social Group Permissions for <user group> dialog box) for the permissions you want to apply or remove respectively. Then click on Set Permissions
