Question

How do i change from public to invitation only?

Answer 1

choices are public, restricted and closed memberships. closed can not be reversed and invites are glitchy. I'd consider changing it to restricted- memebrship approval before closed

management- under group settings click membership- Membership Type and Welcome Message (Edit) <-- cick the edit- make your choice, restricted or closed (make not of the red warning) click save changes

Answer 2

Log in to your Group's web site.  Then click on Management on the left-hand side of the page.  Then click Membership in the Group Settings section (towards the upper-right-hand corner).  Then click the Edit link next to Membership Type And Welcome Message.  From here, you have two choices.

If you just want to make sure that you approve all new memberships, but still allow people to apply for membership by clicking the Join This Group button that they would see on your Group's home page, then set the Membership Type to Restricted.

If you don't even want people to be able to apply for membership in that way, then set the Membership Type to Closed.  Note that if you do this, you will not be able to change your mind later.

No matter which one you choose, don't forget to click the Save Changes button when you're done.
