How do i make all messages from my group private so only members can see them?

Question

New moderator here and I want to make my group posting available only to members and not seen by the public. How do I do that?

Answer 1

Log in to your Group on the web.  Then click on Management on the left-hand side of the page.  Then click on Messages in the Group Settings section (towards the upper-right-hand corner).  Then click the Edit link next to Posting And Archives.  Under Archive Options towards the bottom of the resulting page, choose Members instead of Anyone.  Don't forget to click the Save Changes button when you're done.

If you can't follow the above directions, then you weren't given the privilege to Change Group Settings by the owner of the Group.  This is possible, because when the owner made you a moderator, he/she could choose which privileges to give you.  Not all owners give their moderators the privilege to Change Group Settings.
