In Communities in Teams, community owners and members have different capabilities.
- Members
Members can participate in the community by sending and responding to messages, sharing links and files, starting meetings, and scheduling community events. - Owners
Communities can have multiple owners. They will have an owner badge under their name. In addition to member capabilities, owners manage community settings and members. They can add and remove members, make members into owners, and update the community description and guidelines.
The following table explains owner and member capabilities in a community:
