**Create News** and **Edit News** pages include the following fields:

* The **Title** field for the Publication headline
* **Text** field for the Publication body (links in the body will be clickable)
* **Hide after being shown** checkbox. This option is enabled by default to show the created Publication to the Audience only once. If the option is disabled, users can see the News whenever they login.
* &#x20;**Audience** settings that allow to set rules for the Publication visibility.

Audience settings contain the following options that can be combined to achieve the desired Publication visibility within users:

* **Groups:**
  * Any group
  * A list of groups the current user belongs to
* **Roles:**
  * Any User
  * A list of roles (Customers, Remote Users, Experts, etc.)

With these option, the Publication can be made visible to:

* **Everyone in the system** (Any group + Any User)
* **Users in selected groups** (Selected groups + Any User)
* **Users with specific roles** (Any Group + Specific role)
* **Specific role in selected groups** (Selected Groups + Specific role)
