Any article on the platform must be posted in a space. A space is therefore a place of storage for articles. Moreover, it is through the spaces that you define the access rights of articles.
Types of Space
There are four types of space in Elium.
Public Space
Visibility of the Space |
The space can be seen from Overview, a group of spaces, or through searching. |
Visibility of Content |
Articles posted here are public. In other words, articles are accessible to all users via a search. Moreover, they also appear in the activity feed of the members of a space. |
Navigating in the Space |
All users can navigate in the space (access to various tabs). |
Affiliating to the Space |
All users of the platform can enter and leave this space freely. |
📝 Notes
System Guests do not see public spaces of which they are not members.
System Guests who leave a public space will see the space disappear from their interface.
