Public means that Anyone that visits the community, a person that is Not registered, anyone on the internet; including search engines can see the information.
Members mean that a person Must have an account on the site; Must be registered and Signed in.
Friends means that Only the members who You have Invited and Accepted and Added as friends on the community can see the information.
No one means that No One can see the information. The only exception is members of the Inspire team who may need to see the information in order to perform their duties and keep the site running properly.

Discussion, Posts & Replies:
Please click Discussions (brown banner)
Click Start a Discussion
Notice: Title, Topic, Body
Under the body (the post you have written) are 3 options: Public, Member & Inspire Friends
Let's go over these options again:
Public means that anyone that visits the community that is Not a registered member can read the discussion posts. The privacy setting for Each discussion is set by the Initial community member who posts the discussion. In other words, if the initial discussion is Public, All the replies will have the same privacy setting ... the replies will be Public.
Members means that a person Must have an account; Must be registered and signed in (log in with email address/password) to see the information.
Clicking the option Member after writing a new discussion will only allow Registered members of the community to read the discussion posts. With the Member option, replies can only be read by Members and are Not available for public reading.
Friends mean that Only the community members that You have Invited and Accepted as Friends can read the information.
Community members must decide and choose the Option for Each New Discussion that is written and posted on the community.
It is our responsibility as community members to decide how we choose to share information.
Please remember to Sign Out (top of page) when leaving the community.
