Understanding community permissions

The roles you assign to users control what they can do in blogs, wikis, and forums, as follows. Access settings are defined in the Community Security window.

Note: Granting a user, group or role ANY level of access to the community (even "Read") gives the user, group or role the ability to view the community and the ability to create posts and edit their own posts.
