Admins can add apps to pages and communities. A user who has created a page or community – or has been subsequently promoted to admin – needs corresponding permissions before they can make changes or create apps.
We’ll explain this using a community.
We’ll explain this using a community.
A user who wants to make changes in the community needs the permission to edit and the permission to manage apps.
This does not mean that users with these permissions can make changes to every community. The two permissions only take effect if the user is also an admin in a community.
Note: Special cases
Please note that certain apps also require permissions before they can be used in full:
- The "Documents" app – the permission to "Access file library"
- The "Timeline" app – the permission to "Create timeline items"
- The "Events" app – the permission to "Create events".
All other apps function without further permissions.
Restrict apps to admins or users
In addition to the global settings, you can specify when creating each app what users are allowed to do with it.
To give you a better idea of this, we have the example "Blog app" for you here. After adding the app, you can configure it however you like.

- Activate this app:
If you want the app to initially only be visible to the admins of your page/community, don’t set it to active. It will then be given a label and will be invisible to normal users. - Authors:
Determines who can create articles: just admins, a set group of users, or everyone. - Approval:
Determines whether you have an editorial procedure or whether everyone should be able to publish straight away. - Comments:
Decides whether users are allowed to comment.
