Managing Your Group Page Settings

Managing Your Group Page Settings

As a group officer, you can manage your group page settings and control what information is shared with other users. The Group Page and its feed are accessible on both web and mobile.

Group members use the Group Page to stay updated on activities and access the group feeds. Non-members will have limited access, allowing them to view general information about the group and its purpose. However, if your group is designated as a Department, the entire Group Page—including feeds—will be publicly visible to anyone with access to the platform.

The group main page includes the following information, some of which can be completed or updated in the group settings:

  • Group logo, cover photo, address, social networks

  • Group’s mission goals, membership benefits, constitution, earned badges and points

  • Officers

  • Upcoming events

  • Latest officer posts (from the past 3 months)

Editing the Group Page Settings

From here, you can choose which sections (Events, Members, Officers, News, Photos, etc.) will be displayed on the group page by checking the associated checkboxes.

The About, Events, Officers, and Surveys & Forms sections will be visible to everyone. However, all other sections will be restricted to group members—unless your group is designated as a Department, in which case they will be publicly accessible to anyone with access to the platform.

Editing a section of the Group Page

Click the Wrench icon to edit a section. You can then change the section name and add a description that will be displayed at the top of your page.

Note: To ensure a consistent experience across both web and mobile, the Page Description formatting options are streamlined to bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, bullet points, numbered lists, and links. If you previously added other formatting or images, those will remain unchanged.

Feed Accessibility

For regular groups: Both group officers and members can view and post on the group feed by default.

For departments: The feed is publicly visible to anyone with access to the platform, and any user can post on the feed.

If you'd like to restrict posting permissions to officers only, you can enable the "Allow only officers to post on the feed" option in your Group Page settings.
