How to Create and Manage Communities › Create a Community

Create a Community

A tenant administrator creates community (apart from the existing General Topics community) in CA Open Space to facilitate communication among members on a specific subject. You can create two types of communities using CA Open Space:

Open

Specifies an open community that is accessible to every CA Open Space user. All users can view posts in an open community, however only members can reply, or post messages. Members can join or leave the community at any time.

Private

Specifies private community that is restricted and designed for a limited audience to use for private conversations. Members outside the communities cannot see these communities and the posts inside them. Only the community owner and the tenant administrator can add or remove members.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in to the following URL as the tenant administrator:

   http://<Company_Host_Name>:<Port_Number>/
   

   Note: For a default tenant, log in to the http://<CA_Open_Space_Server_Name>:<Port_Number> URL as an administrator.

2. Select Administration, Manage Communities, and click Add Community.
3. Enter a name for your new community, select the type, and specify a description that explains the purpose and scope of the community.
4. Click Save.

   The community is created.
