Manager training (mandatory for Community Managers)

Before a Futurium group can be launched, all designated Community Managers must complete the mandatory Futurium manager training. 

This training is an essential step in the group creation process and is intended to ensure that Community Managers are fully prepared to administer, manage and moderate their group in accordance with platform rules, procedures and data protection requirements. 

Completing the training in good time helps avoid delays to launch and gives Community Managers the practical knowledge needed to handle group administration responsibilities confidently and effectively.

What this covers

All designated Community Managers must complete Futurium manager training before a group can be launched. The training is a mandatory step in the group creation process and takes place before the final review and launch. Its purpose is to ensure that Community Managers are prepared to administer, manage and moderate the group in line with platform rules and procedures. 

Why it matters

The training helps ensure that Community Managers understand how to manage the group properly and fulfil their responsibilities. These responsibilities include content moderation, informing the Futurium team of changes affecting group management, and ensuring compliance with applicable data protection requirements, including not uploading restricted or non-permitted material. It also supports compliance with the Internal Arrangements, under which the responsible Unit or entity adheres to the defined responsibilities for data processing and control. 

What Community Managers can do

Community Managers should complete the training before the final review meeting, because launch is subject to completion of this mandatory step. They should also use the training to prepare for practical administration tasks such as managing content, members, navigation, collections and notification settings, all of which fall within Community Manager responsibilities on the platform. 

Recommended actions 

• Schedule completion of the mandatory training early in the group creation process to avoid delaying launch. 
• Use the training period to familiarise yourself with group's administration functions and governance responsibilities. 
• If you need clarification on group configuration or management, contact the Futurium team.
