KB User's Guide - Settings - Updating a Group Contact

NoteInformation symbol

You must have full administrative permissions in your space to perform these steps. This means access to the Documents, Settings, and Users tabs.

When a KB group space is created by the KB Team, the group is assigned a group Contact Name and Email Address, as prescribed by the person requesting the site. The group space Contact can be one or more people. The groups contact can also be a group email list. This document will show you how to update the group Contact field.

    See Who Is Listed as Your Group Contact

    To see the name and email displayed as the group Contact, those with Admin permissions can navigate:

    KB Admin Tools > Settings tab > Group Spaces link > Group Spaces screen

    This screen displays a table of the first 50 KB sites. Your KB Space appears in line item 1 of that table.

    The image below shows the first item of the table as viewed from the KB User's Guide KB group space. The group Contact Name and email is highlighted in yellow.

    Best Practices

    Often, the email address found in the group Contact email field is also found as the recipient of Notifications. To check the email in the Notification page, navigate:

    KB Admin Tools > Settings tab > Notifications link > Notification Settings screen > Click to expand Group Notification Email panel

    The image below shows the expanded Group Notification Email settings. The group Contact email address is highlighted in yellow. This field is automatically populated by the first group Contact email upon creation.
