Avoid no-member user discussion partecipation in private community
Hi, I want to use Viva Engage but when I create a private community I noticed that in a discussion a member can mention or add a user who is not a member of the community! This non-member user gets an email with which he views the specific discussion and can participate by making a contribution. But what if I want to prevent non-member users from being added in discussions? Is there any way to disable this feature which moreover conflicts with the definition of a private community in Viva Engage where "only approved members can view and participate in the discussion"?
Default Sharepoint Permissions Set to Everyone for Public Communities
In native mode, it appears that when a new community is created as public, the corresponding sharepoint site that is created gives "Everyone except external users" site member access. This means that even users who are restricted from using Viva Engage via the option to block unlicensed users are able to see files and resources that have been uploaded to that community. This is a particular problem in environments where some users need restricted access, such as Students in an education environment. Is there a way to change this behaviour, or set a default public group? The only solution we can think of is to either set all communities to private (which diminishes the user experience of Viva Engage), or to ensure that Sharepoint permissions are updated manually whenever a new community is created. Any help greatly appreciated.
Allowing guest accounts and/or multi tenant synced users to discover new communities in Viva Engage
Hi, We have performed a multi tenant syncronization with a company with the purpose of enabling more effective collaboration as if we belonged to the same tenant In Viva. We have invited the synced microsoft users to our Viva Engage portal. Because of the sync, the users are no longer marked as 'guests' in Viva Engage. However, the issue is, once synced the users (who are added to Viva as members, not guests) still cannot discover new communities in Viva that they have not been invited to (as if they where guests). Is there any way of enabling this? I was looking into setting of 'Native mode' / 'non-native mode' / 'hybrid-mode' and was hoping perhaps that could be of use. Big thank you in advance!
