View Membership Types and Permissions Assigned

To view the membership types and permissions assigned to each role in your group, navigate to group home page > Manage group > Permissions. A list of roles is displayed. Click the role to view a list of granted (checked) and available (unchecked) permissions for the group

There are three membership types

• Owner - This type of member can make membership, page layout, customization, and group-level changes or additions.
• Manager - This type of member can only review & publish/delete/manage content or posts.
• Member - This type of member can participate in the group. Notice that the Group administrative actions do not appear for this membership type.

Please note if your community is Joinless, no membership is required.

• Joinless communities, are similar to viewing any website on the Intranet.  Anyone can view content, without creating an APAN registered username.
• Remember, you are responsible for anything Owners may post to this community.
• In Joinless communities, only Owners can contribute. Other Owners will need to complete a COA form. Please contact the APAN Help Desk to assist you further.
