Managing Individual Groups
This section explains certain tasks you might need to complete when managing a particular group.
To oversee your portal community’s Campus Groups, in many cases you use the Manage Groups screen. This screen includes a feature which is labeled “Manage” but is actually an instance of the Campus Group Admin feature.
Generally, you use this feature to do any of the following:
Approve an application for a new group.
Create a new category of campus group.
Modify various settings for the group, such as whether it is public or private.
Delete a group.
To navigate to the Manage Groups screen:
Log in to the portal.
Click the Campus Life tab.
In the sidebar, click the Campus Groups subsection link.
The system displays the default page of the Campus Groups subsection.
In the sidebar, click the Manage Groups link.
The system displays a feature instance labeled Manage. You use this feature instance to complete the tasks described in the Working with Categories section and other sections.
As an administrator, you can manage membership settings for any group using the Manage Groups screen (described in Modify a Group). You can also take some of these same actions for one particular group using the steps detailed below. Besides administrators, the leader(s) of the group can also make any of these changes.
To manage membership settings for a group:
Navigate to the Manage This Group screen, as described in the Navigate to the Manage This Group Screen section.
Click Edit membership settings.
The system displays a form that lets you make the group public or private, or change the maximum number of members. If the group is public, you can also change the enrollment settings for the group. For help understanding any of the options, see any of the following sections:
Public or Private
Public Group Enrollment
Maximum # of Members
Make any changes that are necessary.
Click Save settings.
