To manage Company Feed permissions, start by reviewing your organization's communication needs. Decide which employees should be able to post, which post types are appropriate, and whether visibility should be restricted by group. Then go to Settings Permissions to view the auto-created Company Feed group and make adjustments.
Daily activities
A default Security Group called "Company Feed" is automatically created in your organization. This group applies to all employees and grants them the same posting access they currently have.
- Click the Settings menu.
- In the Security & Access Control section, click Permissions.
- Find the Company Feed section in the permissions list.
- Under Post to Company Feed, click the Security Group you want to modify.
- Adjust the following settings as needed:
- Enable or disable the post-creation permission
- Toggle individual post types on or off
- Restrict visibility to specific groups if needed
- Click Save.
Helpful Hint
Changes take effect immediately across all employees in that group and all platforms (web and mobile).
You can create multiple Security Groups with different Company Feed permissions to cater to different roles or departments.
- Click the Settings menu.
- In the Security & Access Control section, click Permissions.
- Click Create Security Group.
- Name your group (e.g., "Marketing Feed Access").
- Select the employees or groups to assign to this group.
- Scroll to Post to Company Feed and configure the permissions for this group.
- Click Save.
Use Case
Create separate groups for different departments with tailored post-type permissions, or restrict certain groups to posting only within their own group.
Understanding Company Feed permissions
This permission controls whether an employee can create posts on the Company Feed.
- Employees with this permission see the + Create post button.
- Employees without this permission cannot create posts but can still view, react to, and comment on posts created by others.
- This permission applies across both web and mobile apps.
Use case: Disable post creation entirely if you want to use the Company Feed as a broadcast channel for announcements only.
Once post creation is enabled, you can control which types of posts employees can create:
- Regular Post - General updates and information sharing.
- Shoutout - Public recognition of colleagues.
- Announcement - Formal announcements with optional read confirmations.
- Birthday/Anniversary/Recognition - Special celebrations (requires Employment Plus/Platinum plan).
If a post type is disabled, it won't appear as an option when employees create posts.
You can limit which groups employees can send posts to:
- No restriction - Employees can send posts to everyone or select specific groups.
- Restrict to specific groups - Employees can only send posts to selected groups you specify.
Use case: Restrict warehouse employees so they can only post to warehouse-related groups, preventing irrelevant information from reaching unrelated departments.
Important considerations
Key Rules
- Permissions are enforced immediately upon saving.
- Existing posts are not affected by permission changes.
- Contractors: Cannot be assigned to Security Groups and therefore cannot post, but they can still view, react, and comment.
- Audit Trail: All interactions are recorded, and read confirmations can be tracked for announcements.
