Important
While Appspace Intranet allows unlimited community members, it’s recommended to adhere to SharePoint’s soft limit of 5000 users per community for optimal performance and to configure the Active Directory group retrieval limit accordingly, preventing misuse and database overload.
Adding a large number of users to a Community in Appspace Intranet may impact performance. While Appspace Intranet itself doesn’t limit community membership, consider these factors:
- SharePoint’s Soft Limit: SharePoint has a soft limit of 5000 users per community for optimal performance. Exceeding this limit may impact performance.
- Active Directory Group Retrieval Limit: Appspace Intranet has a setting to limit the number of members retrieved from Active Directory groups (default is 5000). This limit can be increased in Appspace Intranet Settings, but it’s recommended to maintain a limit to prevent misuse and database overload.
For optimal performance, Appspace encourages Administrators to utilize Powershell when adding a large number of users to a Community.
