Hello all,

I'm trying to figure out where exactly I would find the control over which members have access to the archives.?
I would like to be able to limit a member's access since they will not be on list very long and like any other group, we sometimes post sensitive info.?
Any suggestions for what to subscribe this person as in order to accomplish archives privacy?

Thanks so much?

You can't. Members have access to the archives and that's it. (I assume that you mean message archives...) There is no he can but he can't see "x".

Even non - members have access to the message archive unless you prevent it in the Visibility setting.

Oh... and any other group? Some groups perhaps; not any group.

I have prevented it in the visibility section for non-members, but wish there was a ‘limited’ subscription or something. Thank you for taking the time to answer me.?

Robin,

I would like to be able to limit a member's access since they will not
be on list very long and like any other group, we sometimes post
sensitive info.

A rather heavy-handed approach to this would be to keep all sensitive information in a sub-group. Then you control access to the sensitive information by who you add to the subgroup.

That's the setup of my PTA group, where all unit members are members (if they want to be) of the primary group, but we have a subgroup for the unit executive board, and some matters are only discussed there.

If you have a lot of members who would be in the subgroup it might be a bit of a struggle to maintain the separation of what gets posted in the primary group for general consumption, and what must be reserved for the subgroup. In our case the name "members" for the primary group, and "board" for the subgroup makes it pretty clear what content should be posted where.

If you can find equivalently meaningful names in your case that will help. Perhaps "general" versus "insiders", "hoipolloi" versus "elite", "noobs" versus "masters", ... you get to decide what best suits your group's character.
