      • How do I set who can publish and comment in each community channel?

      Each community channel has two independent lists: who can publish and who can comment. Each list combines roles (Member, Mentor, Instructor, Moderator) with specific people from the community. The community owner can always publish and comment.

      Before you start

      • A community with at least one channel.
      • To allow specific people, they must be active members of the community.

      Steps

      1. Go to Members area → Communities, open the community and go to the Channels tab.
      2. On the channel row, click the pencil to set who publishes or the speech bubble to set who comments.
      3. In the panel that opens, tick the roles allowed to act in the channel. Owner is always ticked and cannot be unticked.
      4. Under Specific users, search by name or email and click a person to add them. To remove someone from the list, click the X next to their name.
      5. Click Save. Each saved list replaces the previous one.

      The icon shows the channel state: green when the Member role is ticked (every member can act) and red when the channel is restricted.

      What changes for students

      • People who cannot publish do not see the New post button, nor the channel in the post composer's channel list.
      • People who cannot comment do not see the comment or reply field; a notice that they do not have permission appears instead.
      • If a post or comment is refused, the reason shows in the window itself instead of it staying stuck.
      • The lists apply only to creating posts and comments. Deleting, pinning and moderating work as before: the owner and moderators never lose moderation by being outside a list. The owner and moderators moderate straight from the community (hide, remove, pin and delete). People who are muted cannot post or comment, and a muted moderator loses moderation; the owner keeps moderating even when muted.

      If it did not work

      • "Error updating permission" appears when saving → someone on the list may no longer be an active member (blocked or removed). The screen goes back to what is saved: reopen the panel, check the list and save again.
