3 | | -## New community |
| 3 | +On CDS, communities are spaces in which records are curated by specific groups of people, depending on the community's scope. |
| 4 | +Depending on each community's settings, they can allow: |
4 | 5 |
|
5 | | -## Your communities |
| 6 | +- **Curating** records; specific community members can review submitted records before publication. |
| 7 | +- **Managing permissions** by specifying which users or CERN Groups can submit new records. |
| 8 | +- **Creating custom pages** such as an About page or a Curation Policy |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +All records on CDS belong to at least one community. |
| 11 | +When a record is created, it must be submitted to a community, but after publication it can also be submitted |
| 12 | +to additional ones. |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +## Create a community |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +In order to ensure communities have a coordinated, user-friendly structure, we don't allow users to create communities directly. |
| 17 | +The CDS team creates communities on request, following careful evaluation. |
| 18 | +Please [contact the CDS team via ServiceNow](https://cern.service-now.com/service-portal?id=sc_cat_item&name=request&se=CDS-Service), specifying the following details: |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +- The intended name |
| 21 | +- A square logo (maximum 1MB) |
| 22 | +- A short description of what the community will be used for |
| 23 | +- The type of records that will be published in the community (please send links to examples if possible) |
| 24 | +- Whether reviews should be mandatory for newly submitted records (see [Submission policy](./manage.md#submission-policy)) |
| 25 | +- Whether the community's contents should be publicly visible |
| 26 | +- The name of a dedicated [GMS group](https://auth.docs.cern.ch/groups/overview/) to set as the initial member of the community |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +## Members and roles |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +Communities have members, each with a role which describes their level of access. |
| 31 | +A member can be a CERN user or a group. |
| 32 | +Community owners can specify the initial members, which can then later be edited. |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +Each member can have one of the following roles: |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +- **Reader**: Can view all records inside the community, including restricted ones. |
| 37 | +- **Curator**: Can curate/review records submitted to the community and can view all records. |
| 38 | +- **Manager**: Can manage members and roles, can curate records, and can view all records. |
| 39 | +- **Owner**: Full administrative control over all aspects of the community. |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +!!! info "Access for non-members of the community" |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | + CDS users who are not members of a community can still view its public records and its details. |
| 44 | + This can be changed in the community's settings. |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | + Non-members cannot view the community's restricted records, unless they have been granted [explicit permission](../deposit/access-share.md) on a per-record basis. |
| 47 | + |
