ITWorld Canada Events Umbrella supports two methods by which users can request group membership. For groups with closed membership, users must be approved for membership after they apply. For groups with open membership, the user automatically joins upon application.

Refer to the Group Basics for more information about group membership types.

Procedure

  1.  Open the group you want to join.

  2.  From the sidebar, select Join This Group (if the group has open membership) or Apply to Join   (if the group requires approval to join).

If the group has open membership, you join automatically when you click Join This Group. The group page shows the change in membership status.

If the group requires approval to join, Community Server notifies the group owners of your membership request. You are notified by email of your acceptance or rejection.
