Understand Creator Access
Overview
Creator Access is the paid community capability for premium creator features; basic community creation remains available on Freemium.
Where to find it
Open Social profile > Communities, select the community, and use the relevant Feed, Members, Events, Resources, Courses, Blog, Premium or Settings area. To create a community, choose Create Community from the Communities area.
How it works
Creator Access is attached to a community owner's creator capabilities; it is not the same as a member paying to join a paid community. Basic community creation remains available without it. Creator Access enables premium creator areas and storage-dependent publishing such as Resources, Courses, Blog or Premium features when those features are configured. Eligible nonprofit plans can include an allowance for selected communities; otherwise the community owner can use the standalone upgrade flow.
Important details
Community visibility, membership permission, owner permission and Creator Access are separate checks. A person may be able to view a resource without being allowed to create one. Paid membership does not by itself grant creator tools.
