Manage members within spaces and space groups

Last updated: September 06, 2023

Admins and moderation can effectively manage members of your community space by adding, removing, or granting them moderation privileges. In this article, we’ll explore all the options for managing members within any space or space group of your community.

Manage space members

To access the member management page of a space, click the dropdown icon beside the space name in the header and select Members.

View space members

On the Members tab, you can see various columns displaying the following member information:

  • Name and email.

  • Member’s role in this space.

  • Joined and last active dates.

  • Name of the paywall if members got access to this space via a specific paywall.

💡 Tip: To update the community account of any space member, hover over the member, click the More actions (three dots) icon, and select Edit member.

Add members

You can manually add existing community members to the space by clicking Add member on the Members tab.

When adding members, you have three options:

  • Add individual members.

  • Add members of the space groups.

  • Add all members of the community.

❗Important: When you use this method to add members to a space, your members will be added via the invite access (free access) method. As a result, members will have forever free access to these spaces until the member leaves or is manually removed from the space by admin.
