I have a new volunteer who is very not tech savvy (no computer or web use), but he does have an email address & checks it on his phone. Can I add him directly to a subgroup without requiring an invite to the main group being sent?

Thank you,

He must be a member of the main group in order for you to add him to the subgroup.

You can invite him, or he can send a blank email to join your group -?[email protected]

He doesn't have to receive all the messages to the main group - he could be set to special notices or perhaps daily summary.

Karin,

Can I add him directly to a subgroup without requiring an invite to
the main group being sent?

For a single person you can go to the Subgroups page in your /primary/ groups Admin pages, find or search for him in that list, then use the checkboxes to assign which subgroup(s) you want him to be in.

For multiple addresses you can use Direct Add from the /primary/ group: it will have checkboxes for what subgroup(s) to add the list of addresses to. This works fine even if one or more is already a member of the primary group - it just gives you a harmless notification that they were already a member of the Primary group.

Karin -- You CAN send someone an invitation to a subgroup. Accepting the invitation will add that person to both the subgroup and the main group.

My Premium group does not have any subgroups, so I cannot test the scenario that Shal outlined. In any event, the person will end up a member of the main group, too. There is no way around that.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Check out the groups.io Help Center?and?groups.io Owners Manual

Can you please clarify?

I thought the original post was from an owner of a basic group who wanted to add a non-group member to a subgroup without the invitation process.?

Does this workaround only apply to premium groups where direct add is available?

The Help says:

Once someone is a member of the parent group, they can subscribe directly to the subgroup (if permitted), they can be added directly to the subgroup, or they can ask to join the subgroup (if it is restricted).

PS I wish those seeking solutions would give a bit more detail about their group status! Basic, basic legacy enabled, premium, enterprise.
