Description

Open

Any user can join and view the community.

Protected

Any user can search for the community in Fuse and view it. Users can apply to join a protected community but the membership must be approved by the community admin.

Info

Content from a protected community appears in search results, even for non-members. The description and title of the content is shown but non-members are unable to view the content when clicked on. It is recommended that you store confidential/sensitive content in private communities so that it cannot be viewed by non-members.

Private

Only admins and current members can see the community and the content within it when navigating Fuse, including in search results.

Site admins are only able to see references to private communities they don’t belong to in:

Info

Users must be invited to join by the community admin.

Public

Allows non-registered users to view content within the community but does not allow them to engage with the content such as commenting, liking, and sharing. 

Info

For more information on public communities, see Public communities.
