Who can see all pages of Directory?
|
Elizabeth,
Although I can see the entire directory of members in my group, others say they can only see the first page of names. That's likely correct. Mods and Owners can see all members in the directory. Members can see only those other members who've chosen to make their profile visible to other members (or to the public). The members can edit their visibility in the Group Profile tab of their Subscription page. ? Is there everyone in the group can see the entire directory? ? The other option is to make the Members list visible to members. But that list includes email addresses, join date, and other info that most groups don't want to be shared. I would only recommend this in Restricted membership groups where the members know each other well and would be ok with sharing this info.Shal -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

Elizabeth, there are two places with group member names - one that is complete (members in the Admin area) and Directory. Not everyone may be in the Directory - you can opt out. For example on this forum, only 187 of 864 Members are in the directory. Frances |

For a subscriber to appear, (s)he first has to create a group profile and then share it with the other subscribers. See Subscription->Group Profile->Edit Group Profile->Profile Privacy. As group owner, you will see member information here regardless of whether those subscribers have "opted in." Hope this helps, Bruce? -- The system Help is your friend.??/static/help |

Then is the converse true?. . .This is one of those things that needs better explanation in the system Help. I think the answer to your question is yes, but you're using the wrong terminology; the Member's List and the Directory are not the same thing. The Member's List is found under the Admin section and is used to manage subscriptions (send +owner messages, view a subscriber's activity history, handle bouncing accounts, etc.). The Directory is an index of subscriber profiles, and when activated, appears on the group's main menu (along the left side). All subscribers appear in the Member's list, along with their email addresses and possibly other personal information. As previously mentioned, a subscriber will not have an entry in the Directory unless they create a profile and opt in (or if the owner is logged in and viewing it). If you go to Admin->Settings->Privacy, the second drop-box determines visibility for the Directory (profiles) and the third is for the Member's List (subscriber management). I suggest making the former visible to Subscribers and the latter visible to owners and moderators only. I also suggest that all owners create a second account for themselves using a second email address so they can see what their group looks like and how it performs without their special Owner permissions.

Are ¡°group profiles¡± system wide or just the group I am in right now? ?Carla -- Both. Go to?/account?page=viewprofile?to see (and edit) all the profiles associated with your account. I presumed the latter, but was then surprised to see private location details from my neighborhood group displayed here in Group Managers Forum too.Yes. See the "grey box" notice at the top of the page previously cited. However, you also have to share the profile with others before it will be seen.

Do some aspects of my profile travel to all forums?Hi Carla. Profiles are hierarchical structure. At the top you have your Groups.io account profile and then under that you have a profile for each group you subscribe to. If a group also has subgroups that you subscribe to, then you get a profile for those too. As subgroups cannot contain other subgroups this means that you have a maximum of three levels. If you change details in your account profile, they are copied to your group and subgroup profiles unless you have already changed those details in the lower levels. If you just change details in your group profile, they will just show there and any subgroups below that (details are not propagated to higher levels). Using GMF, Beta, a couple of the Beta subgroups and a placeholder for your own group, the following diagram may help: If you edit your group or subgroup profiles you will see a button at the bottom of the page which says 'Reset Group Profile'. The will remove any changes at that level and copy down details from the level above. Hope that helps. Regards Andy |

How do I go about doing that? My group is very restricted to only volunteers that are dog walkers at our shelter. It would be very helpful if everyone could see each others email addresses so that I don't have to be the go between for them. Thank you! Karin Owner - [email protected] |
