In the campus community, conversations happen in channels. To start and join conversations, learn how to make posts and comments.
Figure 1. The menu at the top of the sidebar allows you to switch between posting as yourself, and posting as a host you have permission to manage
Make posts and comments
How you can post messages in the community depends on your user's permissions. For information, see "Roles and Permissions" below.
There are two ways to post messages in the community:
- Make posts and comments as yourself
- Make posts and comments on behalf of a host* you have access to
(*) A Host is an organization, service, or athletic club.

Your post appears in the channel, attributed either to you or to the host you have selected.
