In this case, the wall will be visible only to employees. Or you can open up your wall to customers or members of Schoox that follow your organization. Additionally, you have control over who can review and who can post to your corporate wall. For example, you may allow employees to view posts (by Admins) but not be able to post or comment. Or you can deactivate the wall completely. It’s up to you!
You can read more on how to manage your Academy Wall's settings here: How can I manage my Academy's Wall settings?
2. Academy Groups
Groups are a very powerful feature for content and knowledge sharing and collaboration. Each group has its own visibility and access rules. Any member of Schoox, employees of your company included, can create a group. However, you can decide which members can create groups for your Academy. Those groups can be either for corporate knowledge sharing and collaboration and visible only to your employees or public groups and visible to everybody. The group creator decides who can see and join the group (e.g. employees, customers, everybody). Groups visible to everybody also appear on the list of public groups on Schoox.
