Hi all,
I am new to this forum & admin for a group that I created a few weeks ago.? Here's my scenario:

I have a group that is "steering committee" with about 15 members
I've created another group that will be "general membership" that will likely include 100's or thousands of members.? I want the steering committee group to receive all general membership posts as well but not vice-versa.? I've already created the General Membership group today (no members yet) & thought I would just add the Steering Committee group as a member of that group - make sense?? But as I ponder this I wonder if I should create a sub-group of the main steering committee group or something.? Would appreciate any thoughts or suggestion for this newbie!!!!

One of the requirements of being a Subscriber of a subgroup is a subscription in the primary group. Assuming all people on your Steering Committee are also in the general membership, it would make more sense to make the committee group a subgroup of the "general membership" group.

I have a similar situation with our general membership group and our board of directors; and frankly, I've yet to encounter any real advantage to using subgroups. Both member and content management has been no more cumbersome by keeping the two entirely separate.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

John,

But as I ponder this I wonder if I should create a sub-group of the
main steering committee group or something.

In my PTA group I have a subgroup for the PTA board members. The primary group consists of all members of the PTA unit (those who provided their email address to be put on the list, that is). Since board members must be elected from the general membership this maps well to the primary and subgroup structure of Groups.io.

Since board subgroup members are perforce members of the primary group they get all the messages sent to the general membership. But I've configured the settings of the board subgroup so that general members cannot access its stored messages or other resources (and of course they do not receive its messages).
