Membership in sub-domains

Do persons have to be members of the groups.io main group before their Yahoo group membership can be transferred from the Yahoo group into the groups.io sub-group?

I hope I asked this right. As:

Yahoo group?????????????????? Groups-io group???????????? Groups.io sub-group
Bill Smith???????????????????????? Bill Smith???????????????????????? Bill Smith???????????????????????????????? Would transfer correctly (though NoMail perhaps in main group)

Jim Jones??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?? Jim Jones??????????????????????????? ? ?? Would not transfer correctly

Yes, members must be transferred to the main group from YG.?

They retain their same subscription when they are transferred to Groups.io, except "no mail" is transferred to Special notices only.
I believe this is only if you have disallowed no mail on your Groups.io group.
(I do - otherwise it isn't possible to send the very occasional email to everyone in your group without sending out individual or bcc emails or some other workaround.)

All of your main group people will be viewed available for direct adding to your subgroup. Go to Admin in the subgroup, and Direct Add. Check boxes beside all names with a button "+add members".

If you're transferring a YG to a subgroup, anyone that's not already a member of the main group will be added as they're transferred, so they'd be a member of main and subgroup.

So other than some possible duplication there's nothing to worry about it would seem.

Thanks.

I don't know if anyone has thought of this but this site is a way for managers to learn all the editing and message mgte stuff. I frequently stop in the middle of doing something and explore all the ways to do something. Good OJT.

If someone added to the subgroup is already a member of the main group under the same email adress, they won't get a duplicate account in main, they'll just be added to the subgroup.
