5.1. My groups

Groups → My groups

This page lists the groups you are related to in some way. You can see the groups you own or are a member of, as well as groups you have been invited to or have asked to join.

If your site administrator allowed you to create groups yourself, you see the Create group button.

My groups overview page

The My groups page lists all your groups

  1. Search for a specific group by its title or description and / or choose the filters you wish to apply to view only a subset of your groups and then click the Filter button. You can filter for:
    • All your groups
    • Groups you own
    • Groups you are a member of
    • Groups you are invited to
    • Groups you want to join
    • Groups by a specific category if group categories exist.
  2. All the groups that you have access to are listed with group title, administrator, description, group type and number of members if the administrator discloses this.
  3. If you are a member of a controlled membership group, you cannot leave the group.
  4. If you are a member of any other group but controlled membership, you can leave it at any time.
