Managing Members and Administrators in a Community

Overview

Managing Members and Administrators in a Community 

Community members participate in a community, while administrators manage it. Administrators have tools for oversight, including modifying settings, inviting new members, and viewing analytics. While both can access the community, administrators have extra privileges like managing pages and inviting public users.
