How do I keep my new group private, by invitation only?

Question

I set up my yahoo group and thought it would be by invitation only and I would approve the membership. Apparently this did not happen. How do I change my group to be private once it is already set up?

Answer 1

Go to management, under group settings click on membership. click on the "edit" by Membership Type and Welcome Message.

Answer 2

well, it's probably set the way you want to closed, invitation only you do not approve memberships, you send invites which always bypass approval.

look on your homepage to the left:

if it says invite only, your group is working properly
