including the community. Communities are managed by community managers, i.e., managers of the associated community workspace. The basic management functions are:
•Invite users to a community,
•change the community role,
•change the admission rules of a community,
•Remove members from a community,
•remove the community as a member from the community workspace, which also deletes the community.
To access a community
•click the icon including the community.
Now, as a community manager, you can invite other users to the community:
•Select 
in the context menu of the community.
If you want to make community workspace members,
•select these members by checking the checkboxes in front of the related
entries, and then click on 
in the multi-selection toolbar
or select in the top menu. This action can change the
access rights of the affected members if their role in the workspace is
different from the community role. Note that workspace owners cannot be made
community members in this way; they must be additionally invited as
community members.
By default, the info page of a community does not display its individual members for performance and privacy reasons. Also, by default, a community is not accessible to its members, that is, community members cannot open the community to view the list of members; this is reserved for community workspace managers. You can change this behavior as a community manager by editing the community's member role to allow the 'Open' action (see 5.2.4 Define and change roles). You change the inclusion rule of a community with
•
in the context menu of the community.
The community role, i.e. the role in which the community members access the community workspace, can be changed by selecting
• in the context menu of the community or
community workspace and invite the community in a different role.
Note that communities cannot become owners of the associated community workspace.
You can remove members from a community by
•first click on the entry of the community to display the list of its members, and then
•select the community members to be removed by ticking their checkboxes
and click on 
in the
multi-selection toolbar.
You can remove the whole community as a member of a workspace by selecting
• in the context menu of the community. This action
also deletes the community. If the community has members, the 'Remove
Member' form will ask you whether you want to remove all members before
deleting the community or transfer them to the member group of the associated
workspace. The latter will make the community members members of that workspace
in the community role.
Note that not only the managers of a community workspace can remove the community from the workspace's member group, but also the members of the community workspace in the Member role.
