This page explains how different security levels work in the My Hub application.
Security can be applied at the application level (i.e., inherited by #Channels by default), and you also have the ability to change security settings for the #Channel functionality.
Below are the levels of security full explained for Profiles, Activity Feeds & Private Groups in all subsites.

Cannot access My Hub or any of its features including Profiles, Activity Feed, #Channels or Private Groups.
Read Only & above (Creators, Contributors and Editors):
Can add posts, edit their own profile and posts, and also create Private Groups.
Full Control:
Can delete any post, and also view and manage all Private Groups.

Setting Security for My Hub:
Security for the My Hub application needs to be set from the Administration following the steps below:
- Login to the Admin
- Go to Applications > subsite > My Hub
- Click on Front End Security
- Select the users / groups from the list
- Select one of the six different security levels from the drop-down
- Click OK to Save changes
This is where you set up Security for the My Hub application that will then be inherited down by #Channels.
In order to set up Security individually for Channels, go to Front End Security for #Channels and follow the same steps.
