Your group’s settings live behind the gear icon on the group’s page. This page walks through each section, so you know where to look before you go hunting. What you see depends on your role. Organizers and Co-Organizers see the group’s settings. Every member can reach My Preferences.

Finding a Setting

Type in Search settings at the top. It finds sections, cards and individual settings (try “join questions” or “frequency”) and takes you straight there. Beside your group’s name, View Group Page takes you back to the group.

Overview

The first section is a quick health check on your group. The checklist disappears once all three items are done. It comes back if one of them is later removed.
Imported your group from Meetup? You may see a note saying your experience level, group type and frequency were set to standard values. Update Details takes you to them. Closing the note hides it for everyone who manages the group.

Profile

How your group looks to members and visitors: its name and description, experience level, group type, how often you meet, your city, the group URL, images, the welcome message and social links.

Managing Groups

Setting up your group, including its custom URL.

Announcements

How the welcome message works and when it’s sent.

Privacy & Access

Who can see your group and how people get in: visibility, invitations, whether joining is open or needs approval, and join questions. Group Privacy covers all of it.

Features

The apps and tools your group uses.
  • Apps: turn Chat, the Forum, Polls, Schedule Finder and the others on or off. When an app is off, its tab is hidden for everyone. See Announcements and Communication Tools.
  • New event notifications: whether members are told automatically when a new event is published.
  • Forum settings: appears once the Forum is on.
  • Meetup: connect your group to Meetup. See Meetup Integration.

Roles

What each role can do in your group. Roles & Permissions explains the roles and how to build your own.

My Preferences

These are yours alone. They don’t change anything for other members.
The play-tracking switch covers this group only. To opt out everywhere, use the opt-out in your account Settings, under Privacy & Visibility.
Play tracking is in beta. The switch is there for every member, but you may not see play tracking itself in your group yet.

Danger Zone

Only the Organizer sees these two choices.

Step Down as Organizer

Hand the group on. Co-Organizers are offered the role first, then all members.

Delete Group Permanently

Removes the group for good.
Deleting a group removes all its members, events and data, and it can’t be undone.
If you’re the only member, there’s no one to hand the group to, so deleting is the only choice offered. Members sometimes see a Leadership & Transfer card here instead. It appears when the Organizer hasn’t visited the group in a long while. Stepping Down and Taking Over explains how that works. Can’t find a setting, or something isn’t where you expected? Contact us.
