From CUNY Academic Commons

There are three types of groups on the Commons, and each has differing levels of privacy.

Contents 1 Public Groups 2 Private Groups 3 Hidden Groups 4 Related Pages

Public Groups

Public groups are open to all members of the Commons, and viewable by everyone on the internet. Members of the Commons can request to join groups and automatically are added. Group members can be notified whenever new forum posts are published.

Non-group members who are members of the Commons may also post on group forums.

Private Groups

Non-members cannot view Private groups forums. Commons members may request membership, but group admins must grant access.

Hidden Groups

Hidden groups are invisible to non-members. These are open by invitation only. Once membership is granted, the group will become invisible.
