If you have a collection of similar SharePoint 2013
community sites that are managed by the same group of people, or if you
don’t have administrative access to create site collections, you can
also create a discussion site as a subsite.
-
From the root site that will contain your community subsite, click
the Settings button (the small gear icon next to the name of the
logged-on user). On the menu that appears, click Site Contents. -
On the Site Contents page, in the Subsites section, select the New Subsite link.
Tip
If you will have a large number of Community Sites, we recommend
that you implement each site as a separate site collection rather than
as a subsite. Each site can be separately managed and archived. This
also supports separate access and storage requirements for each site.
-
On the New SharePoint Site page, type a title and description. -
Type a URL for the site, relative to the root site. -
Choose a language. -
Choose the Community Site template (located on the Collaboration tab). -
Choose user permissions for the site.
If you select Use The Same Permissions As Parent Site, you will not
have an automatically created Moderators group if your parent site is
not also a Community Site. You will need to manually create the
Moderators group if you choose this option. -
Select navigation options for the site. -
Click Create.
