Using Community Collaboration

Entries/records are subject to different levels of access depending on the Group (or business department) they belong to. The Group an entry belongs to is determined in two ways, depending on its Type.

Explicit Viewing Access Entities are defined by the 'Owned By Group.'
Implicit Viewing Access Entities are defined by the 'Owned By Group' of its master entity.

As Groups belong to Communities, it is possible to restrict access that may have been granted through Group Collaboration by not allowing the Groups' Communities to collaborate. This applies only where the Collaboration Scope in Groups Collaboration is set to 'All Groups'. i.e., Community Collaboration is only required to be set up where Group Collaboration Profiles are set up with the option of a Group to collaborate with all the Groups in the System.

Navigate to Community Collaboration and explore existing entries via the Summary page.
Click on the link (Name or Number) of the entry of your interest to enter the Data Entry page and see more detail.
Use the Actions Menu to create a NEW Community Collaboration, modify (EDIT) or DELETE an existing one.
Use BACK to return to the Summary page and CANCEL to revert any unwanted changes made to the Community Collaboration.
