About this task
Community members can have one of
the following access levels for uploading files:
The Editor and Reader roles allow community owners to control whether members can upload a
new community-owned file to the community. Members can always share files from the Files app with
the community.
Role | Members with this role can |
---|---|
Editor | Upload community-owned files and download files. |
Reader | Share files using the Files app and download files. |
The ability to view community files depends on the type of community. Everyone can see and download files from communities with public access, however only community members can view and download files from a restricted community. If a restricted community is changed to a public community, private files and private folders shared from the Files app are removed from the community.
