The level of access for a community can be set to open (anyone can see and join), moderated (anyone can see, but you must ask to join), or restricted (only visible to members). You can amend the access level of a community at any time using the Edit Community form.

You can choose to associate applications with a community, such as wikis, if they are available for your deployment. When you do this, a link and a feed to the parent wiki page are provided in the community's overview page.

When you create a community, you can associate a specific image with the community. The image you choose should be closely associated with the community's identity. You can change the image at a later stage using the Edit Community form.

A tag is a descriptive term or keyword that you can assign to a community to identify what the community is all about. Tags must be a single word or multiple words connected with underscores or hyphens.
