Groups allow fellow members or members with similar interestes to engage in private discussions online. Member-controlled and moderated groups provide members an area to share ideas, ask questions and generally discuss their hobbies and interests with other enthusiasts. A club retains the right to approve and moderate a group but the majority is handled by the members.
Groups can be created in two seperate ways. The first way is by a member that has registered through website. This method is subject to approval by a Community Administrator prior to other members being able to join. The second method is by a Site Administrators via club central.
Group can be administered by two types of users, registered members or Community Administrators. If a registered member was the one that created the group, they will automatically become a group admin once the group has been approved by a Community Administrator. As community Administrator you have full admin rights on all groups regardless of the creator
Forums created within a group will allow group members to discuss various topics that a Group Admin can decide and control. Group members will be able to comment on these topics and view their fellow grou member's comments as well. These forums are only available to group they are created under and only accessible when viewing the group.
Media Libraries is where all media will be stored for the group. Any images, documents or other related files that are shared within the group will be stored here.
The Message board is where all messages within the group will be displayed. Message boards can be moderated and as such messages will need to be approved before they are visible.
