Create a community
The community creation wizard and general settings.
A community is the container for a group of members, their enriched profiles, analytics, and events. If you own or administer one, this is where you set it up.
The creation wizard
Creating a community runs a short wizard: Details → Source → Import → Enrich → Progress.
Step 1 (Details) asks for:
- Name (required)
- Description
- Visibility — Private (default) or Public
- AI data processing — the data-residency choice: Global (default) or Europe (EU)
You can change all of these later in the community's General settings — the wizard even tells you so.
Later steps let you pick a source to seed members (CSV, Airtable, Luma, LinkedIn), run the import, and optionally kick off an enrichment pass — see Member management and Enrichment.
Plan limits
Without a paid subscription you can own one community; trials also cap the number of profiles. If you hit the limit, the wizard shows an Upgrade plan link to billing. See Billing.
General settings
The General tab (in the community admin panel) lets you edit:
- Logo (auto-optimized on upload)
- Name and Description
- Visibility (Public / Private)
- AI Data Processing (Global / Europe)
Data residency
The AI Data Processing control sets where your community's AI runs:
- Global — AI (search + enrichment LLM calls) runs on the default global routing.
- Europe (EU) — AI runs on in-region EU endpoints.
It's editable by any community admin or owner, and changing it affects future AI processing only.
Data residency governs the LLM used for search and enrichment. It does not re-route embeddings or external data acquisition (e.g. LinkedIn scraping, web research). Credits cost the same for Global and EU.
Roles
Community membership has three roles: owner, admin, and member. Owners and admins can manage settings, members, enrichment, and integrations. Ownership can be transferred to another member (which demotes the previous owner to admin). At least one admin or owner must always remain.
Don't confuse roles (access) with the Tags tab, which defines named expertise tags with search-boost weights — a search-tuning feature, not an access-control one.
Danger zone
- Archive — any admin can archive the community.
- Delete — only available once archived, and only for the owner (or the owner of the owning organization, or a platform admin). You confirm by typing the community name.
