Enhancement: Community Roles & Permissions
We have expanded the definition of Community by adding the Content Editor Community role. The Content Editor role represents someone within your team that is solely focused on keeping the website up to date, and the management of Community Resources, like Shares, Activities, Group, …, etc.

- Community Admins
What is the impact?
When dividing community responsibilities between team members, you can assign the Community Role of Content Editor without assigning the larger community roles like Community Admin or Professional.
Better yet, you totally avoid having to create custom Community Roles. By default the Content Editor role can:
- Update Website Content
- Manage the community calendar
- Manage Community Resources like documents, shares, …, etc.
- Manage access levels
- Shares
- Add Documents.
Enhancement: Workshop Management
If you’ve worked with workshop discount codes, then there has been a moment when you wanted to know who has used that discount code, right?
Well, I have some good news and some not so good news. Let’s start with the good news. with this update, now you can. The not so good news, this report is not retroactive. In others, this report is not available for workshop enrollments created before 7/1/2022.
Who does this impact?
- Community Admins
- Content Editors
What is the impact?
- You can now check the list of enrollees that used the discount coded when enrolling to the community cloud.
- You can now extract reports of enrollees. Report should show:
- organization user name and email
- workshop name
- training name
Enhancement: Meeting Activities
One guarantee in product development is that you will not always get it right the first time. But when you are in a community you have space to work through it until you…well, within reason of course.
That is the case with Community Meetings. If you love having meetings then, these updates are for you. If you are like our product team, then they are a necessary evil and a great way to maintain alignment .
Well, let’s get to it…
