Communities Consoles

The consoles of AEM Communities, available in the Author environment from the global navigation panel, provides access to administrative tasks such as:

• Creating a community site
• Adding groups nested within the site
• Managing community site templates
• Managing community members
• Moderating user-generated content (UGC)
• Create custom badges
• Configuring the default storage for UGC

When UGC storage is configured to be a common store shared by Author and Publish environments, the moderation console, available from both Author and Publish environments, operates on a solitary instance of UGC.

In the author environment, after signing in with administrator privileges, the Communities consoles are available from the navigation and tools consoles.
