Community settings
Manage every part of your community from one place.
What is Community settings?
Community settings is the control panel for your community. It's where you set up the community itself, manage members and invites, install Apps and Bots, and handle moderation. The settings are grouped into three sections: General, Management, and Moderation.
You only see the sections and items you have permission to manage, so your menu may show fewer options than the ones listed here.
