Tool Search: Groups
Groups are a communication tool for conducting one-way and two-way conversations between group members. Groups can be created for use by clubs, organizations, events, and interests.
Being a Group Administrator gives you broad oversight capabilities as well as many options available to Group Owners, including moderating groups, and resolving flags.
The Groups Administration tool allows for oversight of many groups.Access to the Groups tool as an Administrator is granted via the Group Administrator tool right in Communication > Groups Management.
Which groups can I see?
As a Group Administrator, you have access to the following groups:
- Any groups that are associated with "All Schools"
- Any groups that are associated with a School to which you have calendar rights.
Filter the Group List
By default, the Groups list is sorted in the order that groups were created. Use the filter options to trim that list:
- Group Name: Filters the list based on the text entered. Use this option to search for a specific group by name or find similar groups.
- School: Select a specific school or All Schools to filter the list to groups associated with All Schools. Leave blank to show groups associated with any schools.
- Group Owner: This dropdown list includes all users with Group Owner tool rights.
- Group Status: Active groups are in current use by their participants. Archived groups are hidden from participants.
- Flagged: Any participant can flag a post for review, such as for inappropriate or incorrect content. An owner or administrator can then review the post and either delete it or remove the flag.
- Pending Join Requests: If a group is set to require approval before a member can join, each join request is considered Pending until must be approved. Groups can also be set to approve requests automatically.
Click Apply Filters to filter the list or Reset Filters to start over.
