I just formed a Group site (JAGCRNCOA). Is there any way I can make this a private site for members only?

Question

I don't want anyone who's just surfing the web and our group sites to be able to just come in. I want it to be members of the group only. Also, do the group members have to have a Yahoo account?

Answer 1

I would suggest restricted membership- where you approve the memberships. a closed/ invite only is limited with concern to gaining members. a public open group is where memebrs can just join without approval and most don't like that.

members do not need a yahoo ID however without it, they'll only be e-mail members wont wont be able to access group features like links, files and so on.

mangement- under group settings click mebership- Membership Type and Welcome Message (Edit) <-- click the edit

open = anyon can join

restricted = you approve memberships

closed = invitation only group and this choice cant be reversed

click save changes
