# Channel = Structure 🎓

Your Cocoom visual knowledge base is organized in #thematic threads. These #threads are the categories of knowledge that you will be able to associate to teams and add in the tabs. If you have administrator rights, you can modify the structure of your knowledge base to :

👉 add, modify or delete #thematic threads

What is a thematic thread? A thematic thread is a category to organize knowledge in your Cocoom.

A #thematic thread consists of :

🔗 Name: it needs a short and evocative name, spaces are allowed and you can add emojis in the thread name
📄 Description: a short text that helps other members of the organization to understand the content of this thread of knowledge.
🏞 Visual: you can add a visual to represent the thematic thread, by default the visual takes the color of your thematic thread and a # white
🎨 Colour: your theme thread is characterized by a main colour. This color will be applied automatically in all memos, allowing readers to easily recognize the origin of a memo and to provide graphic consistency. You can select the color from the proposed palette or specify a Hexadecimal color code.

To do this, click on your profile picture at the top right of your screen and then on Administration / Threads / Create a thread. Choose the name of the thematic thread, describe what it should contain in a few words, choose an image, a colour and check "Display in global navigation".

# Tags = filter 🏷

Tags allow you to add a level of specification to publications.

It is very important to think carefully about the tag structure and to make it evolve regularly because it allows you to filter the information in all Cocoom views.

⚠️ To add a tag, enter the word or sequence of words and press "enter" to validate the addition. Don't forget to save all your changes.

# Users 👨

Cocoom runs on a pre-provisioning mode which lets you freely choose exactly who has access to Cocoom from your organization. The drawback is, for you as an admin, to keep users list synchronized with your organization turnover.

👉 Manually add all the email addresses of the users to invite, they will receive an email inviting them to create or link their account.

If you are in SSO connection mode, each user account will simply be linked and have directly access to your Cocoom. Otherwise, a user will have to enter his first and last name then enter his login and password to create its account. Once this account is created, he will be able to sign into Cocoom.

In the users management view you will be able to :

# Add a user

To add several users at once, you can simply copy/paste a list of emails in the dedicated text area.

You can also choose their profile.

# Modify a user

All possible actions to update a user are accessible from the 3 dots menu at the end of each users list row. You can :

Change user profile: he could be 'administrator' as you are, 'contributor' ou 'reader'.
deactivate a user
delete a user
activate a user

# Deactivate a user

The user can't access your Cocoom anymore and he's no more listed in Cocoom directory, but he's still in the list of your users.

# Activate a user

The user will get back everything like its was before his deactivation.

# Deleting a user

You can delete a user from your Cocoom if he was deactivated before. In that case, you won't see that user in your users list anymore.

NOTE

Everything done by this user will still be there.

He will no more be listed into your Cocoom directory.
