To set space permissions from the Manage Spaces pane, follow these steps:
- From the Content tab of the Administrator Dashboard, select Manage Spaces from the Navigation sidebar.
Result: The Manage Spaces pane is displayed.
- Select the space that requires changes to its permission settings by clicking the name of the space from the table.
Result: The [space name] pane is displayed along with the Manage Space Permissions.
- Locate the group whose permissions you need to edit, and then click the wrench icon
in that group’s row.
Result: The Permissions–[group name] screen is displayed.
- Click the Wrench (
) icon from the corresponding column and select Advanced from the drop-down menu.
Note: If you need to set subspace permissions, click on the name of the parent space. That space will replace the site column, and any nested spaces (subspaces) will display in the green columns. From there, the rest of the steps are the same as with site- and space-level permissions.
Result: The Advanced editor window is displayed.
- To assign or revoke a permission, click the Status drop-down menu from the corresponding row and select one of the following:
- Grant- Assigns the selected permission to the group for the selected site, space, or subspace (depending on which column you selected in step 4).
- By Reputation- When you select this option, a field is displayed in the reputation column. Enter the number of reputation points that a user must have in order to be assigned this permission.
For example: If you enter 10 in this box, a group member must have a reputation that meets or exceeds 10 in order to be assigned this permission automatically. - Revoke- Removes a previously granted permission.
Note: If the border of the drop-down permission box is a different color than the fill color, that means the permission was inherited from elsewhere but is being overridden for the selected site, space, or subspace. Remember that whichever text, “Revoked” or “Granted,” is displayed in the box, is the current state of the overridden permission in the selected space.
For example: If the border is green and the fill color is red (
), the permission has been granted at a higher level in the AnswerHub Hierarchy, but is revoked at the current level.
- Click the Ok (
) button.
Result: The granted, revoked, or by-reputation permissions are displayed in the column you selected in step 4.
