Manage Groups

Manage Groups

The Manage Groups area of Thrive works in combination with the People area to allow site managers to communicate effectively with groups of people as well as with the Publish area to provide control over which groups of people are allowed to view certain areas of the site.

My Groups

The My Groups section contains the list of your site's groups. You may consider starting out by adding a group named "Members" to which you can add any user in the People area whom you consider to be a "member" of your organization.

Group Management

To add a new group, click the New Group link. To manage an existing group, click its title. When the group management area is displayed, you can change its name, choose whether or not you want to allow users of the site to join the group on their own, and add or remove group members. To delete a group, click its title, then click the "Delete" button when the group management area is displayed.

Managing Group Members

When the group management area is displayed, you can add members to the group by clicking the appropriate name(s) in the Non-Members box. Similarly, you can remove members from the group by clicking the appropriate name(s) in the Members box. A person must be a registered user of the site before they can be added to a group. See "Manage People" or "Send Invites" for more information and instructions.

Once you have added people to a group, you will see "Member" and "Manager" buttons next to each group member's name in the Members box. To make a group member a manager of the group, click the Manager button next to their name. Group managers are able to use the Manage Groups area to add and remove members from the group.
