Resources for Setting Up Your Group

Overview

This page contains information that will help you control things like how people can join your group, what kinds of access to content users have, and which of the built in tools are turned on. Working through these materials is important when you first set up your group. You can always revisit your group settings to make changes as your group evolves.

Have you taken the Group Personality Quiz? Each personality is tied to recommendations for setting up your group.
