Create a restricted community for approved club members or volunteers. Choose private or hidden visibility and keep membership, media and shared content within the intended audience.
Private groups expose permitted basic information while restricting discussion, member lists and media to approved members. Hidden groups stay out of discovery and require active membership or an invitation. Select the option that matches how people should find and join the group.
Pending or banned memberships do not grant group-content access. Assign owners, admins and moderators according to their responsibilities. Ownership has additional restrictions, including the requirement that the last owner cannot simply leave the group unmanaged.
Private posts can only be shared within their original group, and access is rechecked when content or media is requested. Moving a link elsewhere does not make a restricted post public. Use an appropriate separate process for highly sensitive club or athlete matters.
Fictional demonstration
A fictional club invites approved volunteers to a hidden planning group. When a volunteer leaves, membership is reviewed rather than relying on an old invitation link to define access forever.
Sign in, create the group and choose the visibility appropriate to its audience. Set membership and approval expectations, assign the supported roles and add a useful welcome explanation. Invite people when someone is ready to manage requests, reports and the community’s ongoing activity.
Check how this fits your club, website or event before getting started.
No. Pending membership does not grant private group-content access.
No. Private posts are restricted to sharing within their original group and retain access checks.
Use the existing setup workflow to choose your identity, review eligibility and prepare the information you want to publish.
