If you make someone a Mod, they automatically get certain permissions over items jn the Features section of group settings such as the Calendar, Files, Photos & Wiki etc.? However, if you add an event to the calendar yourself (I'm assuming you are the Owner/Mod) and put the email address of a group member in the Organiser Email field, then they get full control over just that event so they can update and delete it if needed.
?
If it is an RSVP event, they also get access to all the options on the Actions button on the Responses page and are also able to see the additional information entered by each respondent (if any was requested).? I found it useful to moderate the #cal-invite hashtag as when members first start updating calendar details they tended to use the Update Event & Group button which generated lots of unnecessary messages for the group.
?
I also review the events to check the frequency and type of reminders.? On my group, I don't want too many reminders or have them sent out as special messages for example.

Giving a person Edit Calendar privs

 

Hi All,
?
I am looking to give specific individuals (members) the ability to add calendar events without giving them any other moderator privs. I don't see this as a mod priv. Can a moderator have no privs but still be able to edit the calendar? Other ideas?
?
Thanks.

I can think of two possible solutions without posting and deleting messages to your main group.

There's also a third option which doesn't involve emailing from groups.io itself, export the memberlist CSV, extract all the addresses but his, and send a (BCC) offlist email from your own email address.

I've posted in the past a VBscript that will extract those addresses from the CSV for you without needing Excel or whatnot, it's here:
/g/GroupManagersForum/message/45919
The instructions tell you to filter for RI (since it was written for that intent specifically) but ignore that part, use no filter.

Basically, it's because the devices/apps are using different encoding techniques.? You could read for days (I have ;>) trying to understand what happens.? Suffice to say that one device used UTF-8 to create it and another is trying to use something else (Unicode?) to decode it, or vice versa.

BTW, did you try copy/paste of that jumbled line into the decode page I linked?

Option 1
If you have a premium group, just create a subgroup and put everyone apart from this member in there. Then send a message to the subgroup. You may wish to update the subgroup Privacy settings so that it's not easily visible from the main group:
?
?
?
Option 2
  • Change your Settings > Preferences > Items Per Page to Infinite scroll
  • View the member list of your group and keep scrolling down until you get to the bottom and no more lines are loaded on the display
  • Scroll to the top of the member list and select the checkbox in the header row to the left of the Display Name column - this will select all members in the list
  • Locate the member you do not wish to send a message to and clear the checkbox next to their name
  • Scroll to the bottom of the list, click the Actions button and choose Send Message
  • On the next page, enter your message and click Send.?
  • Change your Items Per Page back to what it was.

Re: I need to change the members account email address, but she no longer has access to the email account

Well, I really only need to just use it once. And I know that she doesn't have any other groups that would have that kind of authority. So I would just need to upgrade the group that I have that she's a part of and then change the email address. Which I guess I could do. And then downgrade it back to basic. Which is not gonna be a big deal. It'll only be $10 out of my pocket as I'll only pay for the month. Or possibly 20. So hopefully I will never have to do this again.

Another possibility, although it might be a long shot, might be if she also belongs to another group that is premium. One group changing her email address will do that for all of her subscriptions.

Sending a message to all but one member of the Group

 

So, I've researched this in the User Manual and on this forum. And the simple answer is "NO".

That Beta post seems to be a discussion of all sorts of things except WHY a UTF (whatever the heck that is) Subject line is being entered on that ONE reply. ??

I believe the person can still sign-in to groups.io with their old email address and password and then change their email address. If that doesn't work, for some reason, you can invite them again to the group with their new address and delete the old membership.

Another possibility, although it might be a long shot, might be if she also belongs to another group that is premium. One group changing her email address will do that for all of her subscriptions.

One thing to keep in mind is that this trick can work only if she hasn't already logged in groups.io with her new address; if she already has then she would have to delete the new address from groups.io first before the premium group mod does the change.

These two statements are contradictory. You should find Settings under Preferences. You do have Preferences, don't you?
?
Failing that, do you have two email addresses? You may have logged in with the wrong one. Look at the Home button at the upper left (on the menu sidebar). If there's no baby-blue "Owner" badge next to it, you aren't logged in correctly.
?
If the blue badge instead says "Mod," you are a Moderator with insufficient privileges and not the group Owner.

Prakash, I am attaching an image. If you don't see Preferences, Settings, then you must be a moderator or member without that privilege. For example, I am a moderator with GMF, but I don't have access to Settings. The group owners do.

Hello guys, very rare situation. But I know I have a group that all allow me to do it. Because it was created back in I believe 2017. I don't remember. But I have a member who got locked out of one of their email addresses, that they use for a lot of groups. We tried recovering the email address, using the recovery method from Google.

This is how Cox took care of the problem. Cox stopped handling email, and made a deal with Yahoo to take over their email service. Cox users can still use their Cox email addresses, but their mail goes through Yahoo.
