    Info
    titleLocations

    Locations are a geographical concept that let us organize users according to the place of work. They are conceived mainly for large organizations with offices in different physical places. They are not taken into consideration for this tutorial

    The case given the most attention to in this tutorial is that of Communities, and how they let us organize the pages the users see depending on their belonging or not in them.

Communities

Communities are a mechanism that allows us to group users according to common characteristics as to the information they manage, their interests or the type of work they perform.

In this way, it is possible to define communities which later users join, thus sharing the pages defined within the community.

Defining New Communities

The task of defining and maintaining communities  is performed by the Administrator, identified by the account admin.

The user who created the community is automatically recognized as belonging in the community in the role of Comunity Owner

    This displays a list of possible actions.
