The first step for working with community sites is to
create your own site. In many companies, there might already be a
governance policy in place by which you can request a new site. You
should use process when requesting a new site to ensure that it falls
under corporate guidelines. Alternatively, if you have a smaller
implementation without a formal mechanism for site creation (and you
have administrative access to your SharePoint 2013 instance), you can
create your own site collection based upon the Community Site template.
-
On the Admin Center for your Office 365 instance, at the right end of the toolbar, click the Admin button. -
On the menu that appears, click SharePoint. -
In the SharePoint Admin Center, on the ribbon, click the Site Collection tab and then click New. -
On the menu that appears, click Private Site Collection.
Tip
These steps are documented for the online version of Office 365.
Your permissions and administrative layout might differ slightly if you
are using the nonhosted version of SharePoint Enterprise 2013.
-
On the New Site Collection page, type a title for the Community
Center, a URL that will be used to access the site under your main URL,
and a language for the new site. -
Select Community Center (under the default Collaboration tab). -
Specify the appropriate Time Zone. -
Choose the site administrator who will have administrator rights to the site. -
Select your storage quota and server resource options. -
Click OK.
