Frequently asked questions about internal communities
Can Invision Community replace or serve as our company intranet?
Yes. Many organizations use Invision Community as a private intranet for discussions, announcements, documents and events. Unlike a static intranet, it gives employees a place to ask questions, share knowledge and connect across teams, so people actually use it.
How do we ensure the community stays completely private?
You can configure your community behind a mandatory login screen, making it completely invisible to the public, search engines, and web crawlers. Access can be restricted to invited team members or your corporate identity provider, with granular permissions controlling exactly what each user or department can see.
Can employees log in using our existing company credentials (SSO)?
Yes. Enterprise plans include custom single sign-on through SAML or OpenID Connect, working with identity providers such as Okta and Auth0. Employees use the same login they already have, and access can be removed centrally when someone leaves.
Can individual teams and departments have their own dedicated spaces?
Yes. Give every team, department, location or project its own forum or club, with permissions that decide who can see and post in each. Members only see the spaces relevant to them, while leadership keeps a view across the whole organization.
Can we store and organize company documents, handbooks, and policies?
Yes. The Downloads app and custom databases hold policies, handbooks, templates and guides in organized, searchable categories, with access set by group. Updated files keep their version history, so employees always find the current version.
How is Invision Community different from Slack or Microsoft Teams?
It works alongside them. Chat tools are good for quick conversations, but answers and decisions get lost in the scroll. A community keeps knowledge organized by topic and searchable for years, so the same question doesn't get asked again every month. Announcements, documents and events live in one place instead of scattered across channels.
Is our internal data secure and compliant?
Invision Community is GDPR-ready and ISO 27001 aligned, with role-based permissions throughout. Business and Enterprise plans include a choice of EU or US data hosting, and Enterprise plans add audit logs of administrative and member actions, custom SSO and a formal SLA.
Can we use the same platform for external partners or volunteer networks too?
Yes. The same tools work for private networks outside your company, such as partners, resellers, franchisees or volunteers. Each group gets its own secure space, with exactly the access and resources they need.
