What are community admins?
Both communities of practice or place can make use of a handy feature to share the administrative workload.
- Notifications can be split between a whole team.
- Administrators are assigned a filter item from your platform.
- Administrator notifications associated with filters are sent to them.
- If no admin is assigned, the notification is sent to the default administrator.
