Create and Edit Public Groups

Groups are areas within a Workspace that allow you to separate content by subject matter or audience. Visualize the Workspace as an office building and a Group as a conference room. Although all of your company has access to the building, the conference rooms are designated for specific use cases. Groups generally come in two types.

• Public for all users to find and join.
• Private for specific audiences. 

This article covers how you can create and edit Groups.

Group settings

When creating your Group, you will see two categories: Group details and Group settings. 

Group details

Group details include branding the Group's membership criteria based on department or location.

• Group Name: Displayed title for the Group. It is required for this section.
• Department: Required department to be a member of the Group.
• Location: Required location to be a member of the Group.
• Cover Image: Image icon displayed next to the Group title.
• Color: Primary color of the Cover Image and other Group indicators.

Group settings

Settings are toggles assigning content rules for Group posts, such as who can create a post, who approves the post, if the post is shareable, and who can view the post. Please view the Posting Permissions article for more information on users' default permissions.
