The Timeline gives employees a space to stay connected, ask questions, and share updates. In this guide, you’ll learn how to assign users as Timeline Contributors or Timeline Managers, giving them the right permissions to keep conversations and engagement flowing.
Before you start:
-
You'll need the Area Security Manager permission for the area where you'll be assigning Timeline permissions

To assign the users as Timeline Contributors, click the drop-down next to the group and select either Viewer or Contributor. The Contributor role assigns some additional permissions - click into the user group to view the list of permissions they have on the right-hand side
