Content and moderation

Managing groups

Approve new groups, handle membership requests and tidy up groups that are no longer active.

Groups let members with shared interests come together. Open Community in the admin menu and press Groups.

The group list

The Group List shows every group with its creator, number of members and status. Use the tabs to see groups that are Pending review, Active, Dormant, Archived or Rejected.

Changing a group's status

Open the actions for a group. Depending on its status you can:

• Approve and activate a group waiting for review.
• Set as dormant a group that has gone quiet.
• Reactivate or Restore to active a dormant or archived group.
• Archive a group that has finished.

You can also View Group or Edit Group.

Deleting a group

Press Delete Group. To prevent mistakes, you are asked to type a confirmation. Deleting cannot be undone. Archiving is usually a better choice.

Membership requests

Press Approvals to open Group Approvals. It lists people asking to join private groups. Press Approve Membership or Reject Membership.

Group types

Under Group Types you can create categories for groups, such as "Neighbourhood" or "Hobby". Press Create Group Type.

This is done on the main website. The accessible site does not have this page.
