Admins can add apps to pages and communities. A user who has created a page or community – or has been subsequently promoted to admin – needs corresponding permissions before they can make changes or create apps.

We'll explain this using a community. A user who wants to make changes in the community needs the permissions "Edit community" and "Manage apps of a community."

This does not mean that users with these permissions can make changes to every community. The two permissions only come into effect if the user is an admin of a community.

Certain apps require additional permissions before they can be used in full:

• The Documents app – permission to "Access file library"

• The Timeline app – permission to "Create timeline items"

• The Events app – permission to "Create events".

In addition to the global settings, when creating each app, you can specify what users are allowed to do with it.

To give you a better idea of this, we present an example with the Blog app. After adding the app, you can configure it however you like. 

1. Activate this app:
   If you want the app to initially only be visible to the admins of your page/community, don’t set it to active. It will then be given a label and will be invisible to normal users. 
2. Default teaser images:
   You can define a preset teaser image for each new article. A distinction is made between the widget teaser image (format 3:1) and the main teaser image (format 1:1).
3. Authors:
   Determines who can create articles: just admins, a set group of users, or everyone. 
4. Approval:
   Determines whether you have an editorial procedure or whether everyone should be able to publish straight away. 
5. Comments:
   Decides whether users are allowed to comment.
6. Automatic sharing:
   Do you want every new blog article to be shared automatically on the timeline? You can define it here.
