Transitioning from Enterprise to Communities

Moving from an Enterprise to a Community setup is relatively seamless. However, there are some variables to consider to avoid any complications/issues. We'll delve more into this below:

Enterprise Setup is different than Community Setup

• • The URL:
    • Community Setup Sample URL:  (yourcompany.brightidea.com/ct/c_admin_pool_options.bix?level_id={___}&a=OD____)
    • Enterprise Setup Sample URL: (yourcompany.brightidea.com/ct/c_admin_options.bix?a=OD____)
  • Community Setup has fewer subtabs than Enterprise, as certain features are unavailable in Communities.
  • Under Community Setup, Admins can configure:
    
    • Dynamic Navigation
    • Contact Email
    • Banner/Footer/Custom CSS for your community
    • Manage group(s) for users in your community
    • Create new accounts for users
    • Block certain user(s) in your community
    • Create new WebStorm(s) for your community
    • Manage your respective WebStorm(s) in your community
    • Note: Community Admins inherit Admin- as opposed to ALL or Evaluator- permissions for Navigation.

Community Administrator

• A Community Administrator is the designated Administrator for a Community.  They can manage all setup aspects within their Community but cannot access the full System Setup to change elements globally.
  • Note: A System Admin who is also a Community Admin will see no interference.  They will always have access to all areas of System Setup.
• An Initiative/Pipeline Admin can also be a Community Admin, which enables them to access the Community Setup for their respective Initiatives
• To assign Community Administrators, navigate to Community Setup > Users > Administrators 

Updating your Respective Communities & Sub-Communities

• Within Community Setup, Admins can delegate which Initiatives they wish to include in their communities and sub-communities.  Simply check the desired Initiatives under the respective Community and select Update Community
• The Admin can also update the title of the Community by clicking into the title field and making the change, then selecting Update Community

Relationship to the underlying Initiatives

• All Community Initiative landing pages will show all respective statistics and activity from the underlying Initiatives.
• Note: If the Community Admin is not also the respective Initiative/Pipeline Administrator for an Initiative in their Community, they cannot edit that Initiative's setup.

Moving from System Administrator to Community Administrator

• When transitioning from System Admin to Community Admin, there are some features that will no longer be accessible, including:
  • Community Admins can inherit Batch Admin, which will give them further access to Initiative Admin & Pipeline
  • Group Import
  • User Import
  • Email template setup
  • Idea Import
  • Full access to Initiative / Pipeline
  • Idea & User Reports
  • Copy Initiative
• Note: All of the features above will remain available under System Setup
• Consult your designated System Administrator if you wish to perform any of these actions within Brightidea.
