In a premium group, it is possible to direct add members by cutting and pasting their email address.
However, there seems to be no provision for adding a screen name or Moderation status, etc to the invitation.

Does this mean that the Moderation status becomes the group default, or can it be imported?

Thanks,

You can add a screen/display name if you use the second format listed in the Emails block, to wit:? "Screen Name <email @ address.com>"

It's the group default.

John,

What I've done in the past is temporarily change the Default Sub Settings to be what I want for the added members just before doing the Direct Add. And then put it back after. A bit clumsy, I admit, and you could get a misfire if someone joins on their own (or via another moderator) at the same time.

Oops. Frances called me out on that.

I wasn't remembering clearly. The member's Posting Privilege (moderation status) isn't included in the Default Sub Settings. Though I've wished it were. Instead:

The Posting Privileges of a Direct Add'd member (or any new member except one transferred from a Yahoo Group) is initially set to either
o "Use Group Moderation Setting", or
o "Override: new user moderated";
depending on whether the group has the "New Users Moderated" box checked in the Spam Control section of Settings.

In the former case the member's messages are controlled by the "Moderated" box in that Spam Control section.

In the latter case the member's messages are moderated until "Unmoderate After" number of that member's messages have been approved. That latter control appears in the Spam Control section if the New Users Moderated" box is checked.

So, in addition to the group's Default Sub Settings page, set the group's "New Users Moderated" checkbox the way you want it (temporarily) for those added members before initiating the Direct Add.
