Stevens Hub: Communication Site Permissions
Learn how to change the permissions on a communication site within Stevens Hub.
Before you start
- Must have permissions to edit a communication site within Stevens Hub
- Have a communication site created for you by the OneIT team
- Determine which audiences will need to view your site, followed by any exceptions for individual pages. It is recommended to begin with establishing general site permissions, followed by exceptions for individual pages (page-level settings will take precedence).
