Hi Paula,

Unfortunately the answer to your question on your grop;s approval is, 'it depends.'

Amongst other things it depends upon how many groups are stacked up ahead of yours waiting, like your group , to be approved.

So it could happen tomorrow or perhaps next week.

But it it doesn't happen in longer than ten days or so you might inquire again.

OK ¡ª HTH

?I don't think this is correct.

My experience, 5 minutes ago to verify, and many times before is that I can create a new group and I immediately have access to the Admin / Settings.

Please log out of groups.io. Then log back into the account that you used to create the group.?If that still doesn't work and if you are absolutely certain that you are using the correct email address when you login, and you really want to keep the same group name, put in a request to support at groups dot io for assistance.

Otherwise, just start a new group with a (slightly) different name. It takes about one minute.

You have acknowledged that you have more than one email address. It really sounds to me that you are not logged in with the same one that you used to create the group. Try logging out and then logging back in again with the other one.

Still no admin tab.? Does the group have be approved?
My experience is that a new group gets approved in less than one day.

Good luck,
Bruce

Re: Group setttings moderator #moderation

If I can only delete the group if I am signed in as owner,? then this is a problem.? Who the heck is the owner if I am not?? I have 4 members (my adult children) but they were invited to join by me (and they are not even in my house let alone using my computer).??

?
Does anyone have any recommendations?? It seems to me if I can not delete the group, then I have to just unsubscribe myself and ask all my kids to as well.??

Did you log in with the same address that you created the group with?

I had to set up a meeting with a co-moderator to find out what was happening with her because she couldn¡¯t find the admin tab and her screen looked different than mine. We finally discovered that her daughter had used her laptop and not logged out. She was still logged in as her daughter who had no moderator privileges.

Thank you for your?quick response, Frances.

Yes. I am sure I am using the correct email address.? I did test the group with another email address, but even if I log in with my other email address, I do not see an "admin" tab.

Re: How to disable user? #membership

 

I have the same situation on one of my groups.? I remove the member 30 days after their dues expire (also warning them at expiration that it's coming).? If they later pay their dues, I send them an invitation, they accept, and it's as though they never left (provided they use the same email address).? Depending on how strict your group is, you may want to send them the warning 30 days early.

A 'Suspended' membership setting would be nice, but I doubt that it would be a high usage item, so would be a very low priority for a feature addition (unless it were a super simple change).

Re: How to disable user? #membership

 

You could
go to:
Admin: Members
click on the row of their name (do not check the box)
reset their Email Delivery to: "No Email" or "Special Notices Only"
reset their Posting Privileges to: "Override: not allowed to post"
and click on "Save"
OR
go to:
Admin: Members
check the box on the row of their name
and use the "Actions" pull down menu to select "No Email" or "Special Notices Only"
click "Yes" in the "Verify Action" window that opens up
and use the "Actions" pull down menu to select "Override: not allowed to post"
click "Yes" in the "Verify Action" window that opens up

The lapsed Member would still, if they have 'Web Access' be able read email and do anything else they previously could do.


BUT I think what you want is a new feature of being able to go to:
Admin: Members
click on the row of their name (do not check the box)
and change their "Role" to "Suspended"
which would suspended all of their Privileges...
I presume because you want them to renew or re-activate their membership in your group offline (in life vs. Groups.io) so they would retain their 'ownership' and 'history' of messages, pictures, etc and not have to rejoin as a new member off your Groups.io group. If so, would you want them to receive "Special Notices Only" that go to all subscribers or not?

I administer group for organization. It is for member only. It often happens that someone looses member status and we want to stop that persons group membership. But, we do not want to remove user form the group or ban him.

We just want some kind of temporary disabling his group membership as usually organization membership is regained and user has to be activated in the group again.

Is something like this possible or I have to file feature request?

Why? It means the response will contain the whole digest of messages that is then incorporated in the next digest. After 2-3 responses, the next digest would be ridiculously long.

Why would this be helpful?

People who use voice readers beg that this not be done. They have to listen to all of this repeatedly.
