What can you do if your community is Inactive?

If a community is marked as inactive, it indicates that users do not have general access to it. In this scenario, only users who possess specific permissions—namely the "Create and Set Up Communities" permission—are allowed access. This level of restriction is in place to maintain control over who can view or interact with the community content, ensuring that only those with the necessary permissions can navigate through and manage the community settings or features.

Having this kind of controlled access is crucial for organizations that may be restructuring, preparing for a launch, or temporarily disabling a community for maintenance or updates. It ensures that unauthorized users do not have the capability to access information that might be confidential or incomplete.

Other options suggest broader access for all members or a general level of involvement, which does not align with the intended behavior of an inactive community. Additionally, having members with full access or requiring all users to submit requests would contradict the purpose of marking a community as inactive, which is to restrict access rather than facilitate it.
