Public Homepage

How do I make my homepage public? I currently have it set-up so that one of my communities is public. I would like for all users to be able to go to the same homepage and see the public communities and the login but not the private communities.

Re: Public Homepage

Hi, I think the setting you are after is jive.auth.disallowGuest.  If you change the value of this system property to true in the admin console (System > Management > System Properties), people will be able to browse the public communities anonymously.

Re: Public Homepage

Guests can already view our public communities but the cannot view the homepage or the main community requiring us to provide links directly to the sub-communites. Our homepage is just the login screen.

Re: Public Homepage

What are the permissions on your root space?  Can you provide a screenshot?

Re: Public Homepage

The permissions on the root space are only for logged-in users. If I open it up to the public, it opens up all of my private communities to the public.

Re: Public Homepage

If you block access on the main space, you'll need to log in.  In order for your spaces to be private, you'll need to disallow guest access by revoking View Space privileges for "Anyone" in your private spaces.

Re: Public Homepage

Were you able to rework the permissions to achieve what you are after?  Are there any additional questions that I can help answer?

 

Thanks,

Austen
