Hello

We recently started using Viva engage. We noticed that All Company community doesn't have any admins. How can we add a new user as admin to All Company community?

I even tried from Global Admin role, its not allowing to add a new admin.

    Hi @Hasnu zama

    Anyone can create a community in Microsoft Viva Engage. When you create a community, you automatically become its community administrator

    As community admin, you can assign more community admins. Communities can have up to 100 admins. 

    Viva Engage verified admins can also assign community admins. A Viva Engage network admin can assign community admins for a public community. To assign a community admin for a private community, the new admin must belong to that community.

    1.In the Members tile, select the number next to the word Members to open up the member panel.

    2.Search for a person by name or email.

    3.Select the options icon (...) next to the person’s name, and then select Make admin.

    4.Admins have a star next to their icon that appears under Members. You can also see the community admins from the About Page members pane.
