Organizations that want to drive the conversation in the Viva Engage All Company community can restrict posting in the community.
Restricted posting applies only to All Company communities anywhere they surface in Engage, Teams, Outlook, and more.
Only All Company admins can restrict All Company posts.
In All Company, select the More options icon, and then select Settings.
Under Posting Permissions, select Restricted: Only admins can start a conversation in this community. All members can comment and reply to a comment.
After you select this option, users won't see the option to post in All Company.
Note
If you run a live event in a post-restricted All Company community, questions and comments from the live event appear in the community feed. (Live events are only available in Microsoft 365 connected All Company communities.) For more information about how connected groups work, see Viva Engage and Microsoft 365 Groups.
What employees see in All Company
When you set All Company to Restricted, users can't post conversation starters in All Company. They either see that All Company is Restricted or that 'Only admins can start a conversation.'
All employees can respond to conversation starters and reactions.
Users also can reply to posts through email, but can't start initial posts. Only All Company admins can post by using Outlook.
Restrict posting in an embedded feed
Restricting posts in All Company is supported with the SharePoint Conversations V2 web part. No other web parts or embed features supports post restriction in All Company.
For details about the SharePoint Conversations V2 web part, see Use a Viva Engage web part in SharePoint.
