My group is set to restricted but it added a member without approval #addmembers


 

I have not yet opened my group. I'm still setting up and testing.

I sent an invite from the group to one of my other "testing" email addresses.
Then I clicked on the link in that email to accept.

It added that email address as a member without my approval as owner/moderator. I have my group set to "restricted".
I checked "approvals" on the site and that email address is not there. I checked Members/Members and the email is showing as a member.

Is there some other setting I've missed? I really want to approve members before allowing a join.
Thanks,
Debbie

"Invite" sends a pre-approved invitation. No approval is required. If you want someone to simply apply and wait for approval, either send them a link to the group's home page, or instruct them to send an email to [your group name][email protected].

Debbie, it worked exactly as it is supposed to.

If you invite someone to join, the software assumes you want the person to join and it treats the potential member as pre-approved.

Ohhhh!? Well that is certainly logical, but not what I expected. LOL!

Thank you for clarifying and responding so quickly, everyone!
