Hi,

I have a community shared by many users. I would like each user (who can access to that community) can configure a personnal page on that community.

Is it possible ?

This can be done if each user is given the Power User role.

Hi, thank you for your answer.

My users have the "power user" role and they can't create their own page on a common community.

Can you tell me where or how to do this...?

"Power user" give to teh user the possibility to have its own community and manage pages ont it. But it does not give the possibility to create a page on a community share by a "user group" for exemple.

Am i true ?

That's true. Power User gives them the ability to have their own pages created by an admin or omni-admin. If you make them Community Administrators or Community Owners, then they will have the ability to create pages for a community....though that might be overkill for what you're shooting for.

Hi, i try you solution.

I create a community "C" for my users with one page "P1".
Each one is "power user" and "user".
Each one have his own community "Cxxx".
Each one can acces to the common community "A" and to the page "P1".
I create an other page "P2" on "C" and i configure it to allow "power user" to "update" and "view" that page.

When i log in with a one of my users, it can go to the page, update its name and add content.
But the problem is that the page is common to all the users allowed to view it.

I'd like one personnal page per user on my common community.
That is to say each user can add content on his own page an on common community.

Do you have an other idea to solve this problem ?

Thank you for your help.

You can probably accomplish that via permissions on the page itself. Look under manage pages, and see if you can lock it down to your needs.

I try to give acces to only one user for a page but when you display the list of the available users, you only have the admin user !!!

You can not give permissions to one user or an other for one page in a community..

Crazy !!!

Does anyone have any solution ?

Hello,

I think, there are only following possibilities:
1. You give to all users the management rughts to the community - but then the whole community can be modified by every user
2. You define for every user his own page, link to this page from the common parts of the community and give to the user the access rights to modify this page only.

Let me note You should always make the users the members of the community

There would be also third possibility - to link from the common community to the pages of the "user's community" which can be edited completely by the power user...

Do You think one from the above 2 possibilites does not fit to You? Of course, to create autoamtically the page for such a user and assigning the access rights to this page has to be solved somehow programatically, otherwise You have to set up it always manually...

cheers, Archie

Hi, thank you Artur.

I give acces to my community to a group of users and to users.
I create 2 other pages for 2 users and give access page/user.

So it's perfect, each user can acces to the community pages and to its own page on that community.

It's not perfect because i have to create a lot of pages in each community and change rules lol... But it can be done by implementation and LDAP synchronisation.

There are some bugs in relation to that configuration as the number of page show for the community in the menu...

Thank you, i'll suggest that functionnality to my boss lol.

Hello,

I suggest to You all such user pages put binto the structure below some "user pages root" page. You can make this page to be invisible - so it will not appear in the navigation portlets.

You can assign to every user page some friendly url and You could put such urls into som eindex (if You want it).

y6es, there will be problem because this is a lot of manual work to do it for every user, but I think You could develop or extend some existing some portlet to make this job automatically.

with regards, Archie
