Defining the Room Type
In this step in the room creation wizard, you define the room type. The room type controls the user registration process and how the room appears in the room directory .
The following table provides an overview of the available room types and how they affect user registration:
|
Room Type |
Use | Registration Type |
|---|---|---|
|
Private (appears in the room directory to those users who are members of these rooms) |
Is mainly used for confidential collaboration in specific working groups. |
The room owner registers users and invites them directly. |
|
Restricted (appears in the room directory but access is restricted) |
Company-wide collaboration in teams or project groups |
Users are registered invited after they request membership of the room from the room owner. Nonregistered users can have access to a public area of the room or no access at all. |
|
Public (appears in the room directory) |
Company-wide public information and communication |
Users have access to the room through self-registration or automatic registration when entering the room. |
Your system administrator has assigned the portal role for creating rooms to your portal user.
In the room creation wizard, specify the room type. Select public, restricted, or private.
