App Permissions
Configure granular Q&A permissions for users and groups. See the Permissions guide for details.
Moderation
Space administrators can edit any question and change accepted answers. To delete another person's question or answer, the administrator must also have the relevant content type's Delete permission. Space Admin alone does not include every Delete permission.
To delete content:
- Navigate to the content
- Click the Delete button
- Confirm the deletion
Warning: Deleting a question removes all of its answers permanently. This action cannot be undone.
If a nested answer or comment cannot be deleted, Community Questions keeps the question and shows an action to open space permissions. Some nested content may already have been removed, so grant the relevant Delete permission and retry.
