The Permissions section allows admins to set privacy and assign Group Admins and the Group Owner.
- Public means no approval is required to join the group and the activities within the group will be shown on the newsfeed. Groups default to Public upon creation.
- Private means approval is required to join the group. Only group members will see the activities within the group on their newsfeed, but the group displays when looking at lists of groups.
- Hidden means community members must be invited to the group to join. Only group members will see the activities within the group on their newsfeed, and the group will not display when looking at lists of groups.
Community members can instantly join any groups that are marked as Public access. Community members can request to join groups that are marked as Private, and a group administrator must approve the request before they are added as a group member. Hidden groups will only display to group members, and new members must be invited to join the group.
