Communication Managers can post and reply to followers, moderate comments, review notifications, as well as use features like Communities and Events. They can’t edit the Google+ page, its managers, or any connected YouTube channels. To start assigning roles, simply visit the “Managers” tab of your Google+ Dashboard.
