Hello Beck,

You should check your group's settings under Admin > Spam Control to ensure that the box labeled 'Announcement Group' is not ticked.  If it is ticked then deselect it and choose one of the other options which is appropriate to your group, then click SAVE at the bottom of the page.

If it is not the case that the 'Announcement Group' box is ticked then it could either be a problem with the settings of the members who are receiving this permission denial message or there might be some sort of glitch.

OK – HTH

That is expected behaviour from Announcement groups. (Spam control section of settings.) (And I am only assuming from the short post that this is the setting for the group!)

From the wiki on starting your group:

Spam Control -

?

You must choose from among these four options. At least one of these options must be set as a spam-control measure.

?

Restricted Membership - Moderators must approve any new subscribers.

Announcement Group - Only Owners and Moderators are allowed to post.

Moderated - ALL messages are held pending moderator approval before being sent to the group.

New Users Moderated - Messages from new subscribers are held pending moderator approval. After the set number of consecutive messages are approved, the subscriber is automatically unmoderated.

If you choose Restricted only, you do not need to moderate ANY messages, if you wish. But you will have to approve new subscribers. There is no Spam Control setting that will allow a new subscriber to join your group without approval and immediately post an unmoderated message.

Re: klicking links to files in our group needs to login again

#23713

Hi Chris,
this is an interesting aspect:?
I tried to test it - but I don't have any problems now. I down't know what I could have changed in Chrome...

So I must ask the other ones - we are about 7 aktiv persons (Mods and Owners) - everyone except one (and me since a few minutes) has this problem. The "one" works only by smartphone.?

Have a nice day? - and weekend is coming soon

The owner has set up the group for announcements from owners and moderators only.
If you are owner, you can change that.

Go to Admin, Settings, Spam Control.
Change to restricted if you wish to approve members before they join. If you don't want this, untick all those but make sure that you have New Users Moderated and change the number of posts before they are unmoderated.

Re: White-listing a group

#23706

Okay, so to close this loop and I know this gets away from Groups.io a little bit, the only thing that I have been able to do with Comcast is turn off the spam filter on my email account all together. I was unable to find any way to customize that filter to allow certain email/senders/domains through. So far it has worked, as the email from that one group is now coming to my inbox. Hopefully, I don't get inundated with true spam.?

If I do, I'll still be appreciative if anyone has any further advice on filtering. It still baffles me why only one group triggers the spam filter. Is it possible that the name of the group is one word that begins with 5 capitalized letters?

This suggests that she's logged in with a different email address than the one you sent the invitation to.?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Group-Content-Is-Missing

When troubleshooting something like this, it's important to think in terms of email addresses, not the people they belong to. As far as groups.io is concerned, each email address is a different person.

Hope this helps,

#23703

Shal and Bruce, I appreciate the both of you holding my hand in the midst of all the turmoil. Thank-you.

I've looked at the sub-groups section of "Admin" and there's one thing I want to be certain I understand. The description merges the sample into an email address. How does the sub-group(s) work when reading online? Are messages presented to the users purely in accord with the "visibility" rules? What about people who are members of both the "members" and the "board"? Do they get two copies or does groups.io have the logic that says "once is enough"?

Since we can't be certain that all Board members are also members of the main group, what would be the construct using "NAIA..." and "Members" and "Board"? I'll suggest that NAIAandANIATrust be shortened. It was a name that was convenient 10 years ago.

I'm using a rather careful approach as this is something we never considered and if mis-handled, can't be easily undone. 

Eric

Eric,

Yes, except that Members may as well be the name of the primary group, replacing the default of "main", as Bruce suggested. That is assuming that all board members are also members of the organization.

That's what I do with my PTA group.
The primary is Members@ unitname.groups.io while the board is Board@ unitname.groups.io  (subgroup)

We also have other subgroups, such as teachers@, and staff@, as well as temporary subgroups sometimes for volunteers organizing an event.

My only other comment is that "NAIAandNAIATrust" seems a bit awkward, even if accurate. I'd be really tempted to shorten it to one or the other, if that wouldn't be completely incorrect.

For example, if NAIATrust is in some sense a subset of NAIA (at least as far as participation is concerned)  then you might have:
Members@ NAIA.groups.io  (primary)
Trust@ NAIA.groups.io  (subgroup)
Board@ NAIA.groups.io  (subgroup)

Hi,

She logges herself in and her name and account are visible to her on the home page, she can read mails, but she can?t write mails, and she doesn?t see files and databases, photos and so on.
