Re: How to prevent one person from seeing a single group email?

 

This won't prevent the person concerned being able to read the message in the archive, neither will it prevent anyone else quoting it in a reply to the group.

Double whammy, you could solve the first problem by deleting the message from the archive but then you can't lock the topic to prevent replies to the group.

How to prevent one person from seeing a single group email?

 

Hello! We sometimes have birthday surprises or events for a single person within an email group and we don't want them to see the email. What is the best way to temporarily keep that person from seeing the surprise notice? I tried "none" for owner email, but that failed lol. I don't know if it matters if that person is also a moderator. I appreciate any advice, thank you!?

John -- There is an FAQ on this, copied below for your convenience. Please review and come back with further questions.
?
The final fall-back measure -- contacting groups.io support -- can be hit or miss. The main problem revolves around concern that a disgruntled former member could fabricate a story so as to engage in a group takeover or some other form of sabotage. The likelihood of such a thing may seem remote, but it only has to happen once.

To that end, you might want to provide so Mark can readily verify that your President has actually died.?

Hope this helps,

Q: The sole owner of a group I belong to has died or become unavailable. What can we do?

?

A:?Do any relatives still have access to the owner’s email account? If so, tell them to follow the instructions in?Logging in without setting a password?in the?Groups.io Members Manual?to get an email link to log in to Groups.io under the owner’s email address. After they are logged in to Groups.io under the owner’s email address, they can go to the group in question and?change the role?of another group member to Owner.

Note:?If someone has access to the owner’s computer, it is possible that the owner’s Groups.io account might still be logged in on their web browser if the account’s 30-day login cookie in that browser has not expired.

If no one has access to the owner’s email account or computer, you can contact?Groups.io Support, explain the situation, and ask to be made an owner of the group.

Tip:?After someone is able to log in to the group as an owner, they should designate at least one other member as an additional owner, to avoid this situation again in the future.
Passing on group ownership

 

I am the Vice President of the Vintage Radio Control Society.? Our president Mike Denest has recently passed away.? He was the sole owner and moderator for our group. I would like to transfer the group ownership to me, but I am not familiar with how that could be done.? Can anyone advise me?
Thank you very much.

Just to clear up some terminology to start with: there are digests (in either HTML or plain text format) and there's a Daily Summary.?? A digest is a collection of up to 12 messages.? If there have been less than 12 messages since the last one was sent, then a digest containing the remaining messages is sent at 06:00 local time.?? So, if are 15 messages are posted, then a digest will be sent at the 12th one and then the remaining 3 will be sent at 06:00.? If there are less than 12, then a digest will just be sent at 06:00. If no messages have been posted, then no digest will be sent.
?
A Daily Summary is sent at 06:00 local time an just contains links to the messages that have been posted so to read the message, you need to be online (and logged in if the messages relate to a private group).
?
The contents of the Digests and Daily Summary are determine by an individual's settings in terms of topics and/or hashtags they have muted or followed so one member's digest/summary can be different from another member.
?
You should check the email delivery history for the member concerned to determine if a message has been sent to them and whether Groups.io has reported any issues delivering that to their mail provider.

As Andy said, this is normal. The assumption is that if you invite someone to join you have already vetted them, decided you want them in your group. You can also create an active Welcome message that is sent out automatically to new members.

This is normal behaviour.
I also can't find a way to view a list of the invitations I've sent.? I can go into Activity and see that I have sent them, but there's not a list of "Invites sent" or similar.

There's also a note in the delivery help section:? Note:?If a digest had not been generated in the previous 6 hours and messages were posted to the group since the last digest, a digest is created at 6:00 AM local time for each member, based on the timezone in the member’s account preferences.? This can also change which messages will be included in a specific member's digest.

Re: email preference settings

 

Bruce -
I get posts from several groups by digest. Each digest contains the entirety of each message, so there's no need to follow a link. Attachments may be included as well, depending on your email size limits. Oversize attachments would have links, of course. You may be thinking of Daily Summary, which may have links to complete messages. I don't use Daily Summaries, so can't confirm.

Full featured digests also have the advantage when opened of jumping to the desired message if you click on that title in the index at the beginning. I used to get plain digests, but switched to Full Featured for that ability. Digests provide thumbnails of relevant attachments with each message as well as links at the top. They also keep all messages in the same thread in that digest grouped together.

A digest is sent daily to each subscriber at around 6 am, assuming there are any messages to send. If 12 messages should accumulate during the day, a digest will be sent earlier.

Since subscribers may be in different time zones and may have muted/followed different hashtags and topics, there is no guarantee that Subscriber A's digest will contain exactly the same messages as Subscriber B.

Daily Summary: it says, ‘..contains only a list of the topics posted..’, does this mean to actually read them you have to follow a link?
Yes, each topic in the Summary will have its own link. Please note that if the group's online message archive is private, they will also have to log in (or more generally, have an active login cookie).

Hope this helps,

They can join using a button shown on your group home page or they can do so by email. The relevant address is also on your group home page.?? If you have set Restricted Membership, you will need to approve their request.

You should read the Owner's Manual sections on Inviting People to Join a Group and Managing Members which covers these features.

and chose delivery preferences
Initial delivery preferences for each new member are taken from whatever you have set in? Admin > Membership > Defaults at the time they join.? If you change the defaults, existing members are unaffected.

Oh, you're welcome, it was definitely my pleasure to help you. And while I'm here, I would also like to let others know, that when you're helping somebody that is in the Logitech field, who not might be as technology illiterate as some of us, there's a couple things to point out. When you click on your name, it also would help if you would have the proper wording for what the account level is called now. Which is called settings. I did not know this until I logged into his account yesterday. So that's the first thing you guys need to know. Then if you're doing a merging account, after you change email, and confirm that you wanna do that, there is a hidden step. That I feel is missed. All the way down at the bottom, it will tell you that there's already another email address with with that account, it will ask you at the very bottom if you want to emerge the two. Then it will send the person an email to confirm the change. I feel like some of these things were missed when we were all helping Chuck. So we need to keep our years open a little more to changes. I will tell you, whenever I was making the change yesterday, I missed this about three times because every time I went to change his email, it did not alert me to the one dialogue that was being missed. So then I changed it to one of my own addresses, to see if groups I was just having an issue. And it wasn't. So I was eventually able to get it fixed properly.

Hi Lori, welcome to this wonderful platform. When you replied to a message, it's got a place to include quoted messages. Or if you're using your email program, you should be able to always see the original message as long as you have your email program set up to include the original message. And as far as the summaries concern, once it has 12 messages it will dispense a summary. If you don't get 12 messages, then it will dispense the next morning the summary. And it will contain a link to each message. From what I've heard. I hope this is answered your questions, and if I can be further of assistance, or if you need more help, please reach out.
