By Request – Content visible to all but users must request to join and be accepted by an Idea Space Admin/ Manager before being able contribute.

Invite Only – Idea Space is only visible to members. Members must be invited to the Idea

Space by a community Admin/ Manager.

Limited Contributors - Users invited to the Idea Space will not have access to the main platform, only that specific community.
