Subgroups can be public, limited or private.
Public (subgroups) = anyone can join and they are visible in the subgroup directory within the Groupsite;
Limited (subgroups) = are always by invitation only and are also visible within the subgroup directory within the Groupsite (note: non-members of a limited subgroup are able to see the subgroup's homepage and can email the subgroup's admins to request access)
Private (subgroups) = are always by invitation only and are NOT visible within the subgroups directory within the Groupsite (note: members that have been invited into a private subgroup are able to access all subgroups that they belong to (including private ones) via their My Subgroups tab.
Here's how to change a Subgroup's Visibility:
1. Select the SUBGROUPS tab
2. Select "Subgroups Controls"
3. In the "Manage Subgroups" section, click on the name of the subgroup you wish to edit in the "Subgroup" column.
4. From the Subgroup Administration page, select the visibility you want this subgroup to have and hit the "SUBMIT" button at the bottom of the page.
Subgroup Visibility FAQs
If I set my subgroups to "public," does that mean non-members of the main Groupsite can see them or ONLY members of the main Groupsite?
Subgroup visibility never makes the subgroup more visible than the main Groupsite. It can only make the subgroup less visible. For example, if you create a public subgroup within a private Groupsite, only members of the main Groupsite can see it.
