Browsing for Groups is pretty straightforward. There are two Group types: public
and private. A public group will show up on the search page. A private group will
not. A Group has three membership types: open, moderated, closed. If a Group is
open, any member can join without approval. If a group is moderated, you can apply
to a Group. A Group administrator must then approve your application. If a Group is
closed, you must receive an invitation from a Group moderator in order to join it.
If you are a member of a Group you have more options. Group members have a news page,
private chat room, and a private forum. Groups are also able to set up numerous "custom
pages." These pages are fully customizable by Group administrators. These pages are
accessed via a drop down list (Additional Group Pages) within the Group.
Groups are managed and maintained by the Group administrators. You should direct
questions about a Group to the appropriate Group administration. You can start a
Group once you reach Level 40.
FOR ADMINISTRATORS

the group. These messages appear in the "Groups" folder of the Message Center.
Applications - This page lists pending applications to the Group. Applications
are only possible if the Group is in membership mode moderated join.
Invite - This page allows administrators to invite members to the Group. This

members to the Join page and members are able to directly join the Group.
