Personal communities can be Public or Private. Group communities also offer Open access. The three access settings are: Public, Open, and Private.

Public communities let signed-in visitors with the direct link browse public posters. Joining a personal community requires an invitation or code. Open communities let group members find, open, and join them. Private communities are hidden from unjoined group members. Invited members and group owners or admins can open them.

With an active paid plan, the community owner can add a password to protect public poster links. For Public communities, the password protects the community page too. Community members do not need the community password.
