Frequently Asked Questions

Can I be in more than one group? Yes — there's no limit on how many groups a member can belong to.

I can't see the edit buttons. Why? You may be a regular Member. Only Admins, Staff, and assigned Group Leaders can edit groups.

What's the difference between a Group Leader and a Staff member? A Group Leader can only manage the specific groups they're assigned to. A Staff member can manage all groups in the organization.

Are my private notes visible to the member? No. Notes on group memberships are internal — only leaders and admins can read them.
