Message board

 

Based on the Access and Message board owner properties of the message board web part, you can determine who will be allowed to add new messages to the board.

 

 

 

Changing the values

 

Remember that once the message board is created (after first message or subscription), you cannot make changes to these settings in the New board settings section of web part's properties. You can only modify values of the Access property on the Security tab when editing the corresponding message board in CMS Desk -> Tools -> Message boards.

 

 

The following table explains which users can add messages to the board under particular configurations. The difference between User and Public boards is that Public boards are always related to a document, while User boards are always related to a document and a user. User boards are typically used on user profiles, as you can see on the sample Community starter site, on the Members -> Profile page.
