Community Owner

When you create a Community, you will automatically be made a Community Owner. Community Owners create the Community, add Community rules and invite the initial members.

As Community Owner, you will be able to:

  1. Add and edit Community information (Community Rules, Descriptions, etc.)

  2. Invite new members to Community

  3. "Kick Out" current members and content from your Community (this includes Community Admins)
