Community Groups - Auto Add Users
We are in the middle of rolling out Community and we wanted to do a hidden group for all Partners. Is there no way to auto add them based off role or via an API Endpoint?
If you need an alternative…
You could create a regular community category and custom role for partners, setting the permissions accordingly. Then you could backfill (and automate going forward) partner users to get the custom role.
The downside of this (and perhaps why you were going towards a group) is that you lose the auto-subscribe to new posts that comes when someone joins a group. Each user would need to manually subscribe to the community category forum (and there’s not a way to do that for them)
OR… if the group is mostly to share content with them, you could do a combination of the category and a custom page. The custom page could leverage widgets for a better UX and create a partner launchpad of sorts. The category would be the actual place where you would publish the content, but could be mostly hidden/deprioritized in navigation.
