9 months ago

The role of administrators is crucial in ensuring smooth operations and fostering a positive environment. Community administrators play a pivotal role in managing and nurturing communities, acting as the backbone of these digital spaces. This article delves into the key responsibilities and significance of administrators in effectively managing online communities and highlights how Sprinklr Community helps admins achieve their goals. Following are the primary activities of an admin -

Enforcing Community Guidelines

Administrators establish guidelines outlining the expected behavior, code of conduct, and rules that members should adhere to. By monitoring discussions, addressing violations, and taking appropriate actions, administrators help maintain a safe and welcoming environment for all community members. Administrators can achieve this from the Sprinklr platform in an effective manner.

Moderation and Conflict Resolution

Community administrators act as moderators, overseeing discussions and interactions within the community. They are responsible for monitoring conversations, identifying and resolving conflicts, and intervening when necessary to maintain a civil and respectful atmosphere. Sprinklr Community employs multiple moderation capabilities like AI-powered moderation, Rule Based Moderation and Manual Moderation enabling a respectful and compliant community.

Engaging and Facilitating Community Growth

Administrators need to actively engage with community members by participating in discussions, responding to queries, and encouraging collaboration. Administrators can organize events, initiate relevant topics, or spotlight members' contributions to encourage participation and build a sense of belonging. Sprinklr Community provides multiple ways to interact across various avenues.

Managing Technical Aspects and Community Infrastructure

Administrators are responsible for managing the technical aspects of the community, including configuring and maintaining the community platform.

Rest of the article deep dives on the options provided by Sprinklr in managing their tasks.

Manage user approval

For a private community, admins (with appropriate permissions) can enable the approval workflow to allow only approved users to access the community.

In the top right corner of the Community Homepage, click the Initials/image of your user.
Select Manage User Approval from the dropdown menu.
Under Approval Pending, approve or reject the users as desired. Click the user name to access their profile.
You can get the following email templates added for the User Approval workflow by reaching out to support at tickets@sprinklr.com. Once these templates are added to your email templates, you can customize them as needed. The templates include:
Notification to community approvers/admins every n hours when a user signs up, and their approval is pending.
Notification to community users when their sign-up is approved by the admin.
Notification to community users when their access is revoked or rejected by the admin.

Take actions on a user's profile

On the Leaderboard, click on a username to view the user's profile. From here, you can follow the users. Also, an admin with appropriate permissions can edit their profiles including their username, email, user signature, etc. and reset their password, and block the users. Clicking on View in Sprinklr, you can open the user's profile details on the Sprinklr Platform directly.

Blocking someone will remove all the activities of that user from the community as it will be marked as spam. However, you will also get an option to keep the user's content even after blocking them. You can also specify the reason for blocking.

While keeping the user's content, you can input the number of days in the Ban Duration field for which the user needs to be blocked. After the end of this period, the user will be automatically unblocked. If not added, then the user will be blocked for a lifetime.

This reason will be visible within the Custom Properties section of the Profile third pane in Agent Console.

If you have the Manage Notes permission, you will also be able to add notes on users' profiles which will be visible only to those who have this permission.

You also have the option to anonymize user profile details for selected accounts. This means that usernames, first names, and last names will not be visible on profile pages, conversation pages, comments, replies, or anywhere else within the community or Sprinklr platform. Additionally, anonymized usernames will not appear in reporting, ensuring that user identities remain protected throughout the platform.
