Manage Discussion Group

If you are a user with Manage rights, you have additional options with the Discussion Group part type. These options are available when you log in to your website with your manager role.

1. Using your manager role with Manage rights, log in to your organization’s website.
2. In the upper right corner of your Discussion Group part, the View field appears. In this field, select whether to view all postings, only approved postings, or only those postings pending approval.

Note: If Require Approval for Topics Added to This Group is not selected on the Edit Part screen for the discussion group, Approve does not appear on your website for users with manager roles. However, the View field and Delete remain available.

3. Manage the messages and topics of the discussion group.
To approve a message or topic, click Approve in the same row as the message or topic to approve. This makes the information available for all website users to view and respond.
To delete a message or topic, click Delete in the same row as the message or topic to remove. This permanently removes the information from the website.
To block the content of a message without affecting replies to the message, click Block in the same row as the message to block.

Note: When you click Block, the button changes to Unblock. To recover the message, click Unblock.

To delete a message and all its replies, click Prune in the same row as the message to prune. The program deletes only the selected message and its replies. Any messages posted in the topic prior to the pruned message remain.
4. To return to the administrative side of the program, log out of the website or click Go to Blackbaud NetCommunity on the toolbar.
