Communities in Liferay Portal

Community is the group of users who shares the same interests. Each community have its own private and public pages in liferay portal.

Types of Communities:

There are 3 types of communities Liferay Portal. These are as follows-

  1. Open: Open Community allows users to join and leave a Community whenever they want to.

  2. Restricted: In Restricted Community user first have to make request for the membership. It means Restricted Community requires administrator or owner approval to add users to the community or to remove users from the community but users have the ability to leave the community.

  3. Private: In case of Private Community there is no way to join or make request for membership.Both  Community Owner and Community administrator can assign a user to the Community.


So basic difference between Restricted and Private Community is that, in case of Restricted Community membership is subject to administrator approval but in case of Private Community there is no way of joining the Community.
