Members of Subgroup have to be members of primary (parent ) group

 

I thought the above statement was the case and a rule. I have at least one member of my subgroup who is not a member of the primary (parent) group. My moderator approved his membership to the subgroup in May. He has already posted a thread. How can this be the case ? barry

This seems unlikely. When someone is approved for a subgroup they are automatically added to the main group. A person can, however, have a different Display Name in the subgroup vs the main group. You need to look for a matching email address, not rely on other data elements.

I believe it's possible to have the mail delivery set to No Mail for the main group and an active delivery option set for the subroup.

But AFAIK, there isn't a way to have a member on a subgroup who's not a member of the main group.? (If there were, I'd prganize my groups and subgroups differently than I do now.)

An issue I raised a while back is that someone can join a sub-group (by invitation or approval of sub-group moderator), and hence a main group, without any awareness by the main group moderatorship (through approval or main group activity log).
?
IIRC, the consensus was that this wasn't seen as a problem, as main and sub-group moderatorships should be the same.

Not necessarily.? However, any owner on the main groups is automatically able to see activity on the subgroup and moderators can be given that permission.
