Groups

Groups are used on the website to provide spaces for each individual class, teacher, or activity to post items specifically for that particular group.

Group Posts

A group manager or administrator may post annoucements, news articles, or newletters to the group. Also, each group may provide a calendar, which is specific to that group.  If desired, posts can be posted to multiple groups if the administrator has administrative rights for both groups.

Membership

Memberships may be configured in several ways for a group.  A group may be created as an open group, where any registered user may join or leave a group without approval from a group administrator.  A group may be set as moderated, where any registered user may request membership, but the group administrator must approve the membership request. A user may leave this type of group at any time.  A closed or private group allows memberships by invitation only.

Registration and Groups

During account registration, a user may request membership to specific groups.  The user will receive group membership notices, but may not be able to log into the system.  This is because account activation must be performed by a system administrator.
