How do I change the basic set up?

Question

I set my group up with members only to post, and new members must be approved. But a friend has a group that doesn't seem to work that way. People can sign up without his approval. How can he change that? I can't seem to find where to make this change.

Answer 1

consider this option. not approving membership opens you up to spammers joining. it doesn't take but a few steps to approve a member.

but this is how you change that

management- under group settings click membership- Membership Type and Welcome Message (Edit)<-- click the edit- option

* Open (anyone can join) <--------- check

* Restricted (you approve all requests for membership)

* Closed (only invited members can join) If you select this option, web tools that were previously set to "public" will be restricted to members only. Once you have selected this option, you may not change it later.
