Join a group
The program settings and group settings determine which groups are visible to each employee, whether they need permission to join a group, which filters (if any) users can use to help search for groups, what members can do in groups, and whether group members are listed publicly in the community.

Opt in to receive messages sent to the entire group
Group admins and super admins can send messages to group members in bulk. Group members who have opted in will receive the messages.
Members who haven’t opted in are excluded from admin emails sent to the whole group. However, group admins can still send emails to those members individually.
Notifications for group admins
When a group member joins or leaves a group, the group admin receives an email message. It includes a link the admin can use to access Manage group members.
Group admins also receive one email per day identifying the number of users who joined or left the group. It includes a link the admin can use to View Group.
