Add or edit a site

You can add or edit a site that houses a collection of pages and feeds in a digital workplace relevant to specific user groups. 

Considerations

  • Site Hierarchy: Sites can only be nested 3 levels below the root site. 
  • Access permissions: Access to the site is determined by a group's roles and associated access permissions assigned for the site.

Who can do this?
