What can I do as a community member?
Find out what actions you can perform in a community when you are a community member.
Overview
Tip: If you are unsure of what your role is within a community, open
the Members page and look for your name or the name of the group to which you
belong. Your role displays under your name or the name of the group.
As a community
member, you can perform the following general tasks:
- View community content.
- View community membership details.
- Mail members of the community.
- Invite members to join the community (if the community has public access).
- Export the community membership.Note: If the display of email addresses is enabled for your deployment of Connections, anyone can export the membership of public and moderated communities. Any member of a restricted community can export the community membership. If the administrator configured email addresses to be hidden, the Export Members option is not available.
- Leave the community.
You can leave a community if you are explicitly a member. You cannot leave the community if you became a member because a group that you belong to was added to the group.
Community members can also perform the following actions
when using the resources that belong to the community.
