Changing Your Group Settings » What You Need to Know

There are three types of groups on the Commons, and each has differing levels of privacy.  As the needs of a group change and evolve, they may want to adjust their group settings from private to public, or vice versa. There are a few things that group admins should keep in mind before they change their group settings from private to public.

Is there anything that can’t be public?
Once a group is public, all docs, files, and forum threads will be visible to members outside of the group. The Commons team recommends looking over these areas for files or threads that the group may not deem appropriate for public consumption and either editing or deleting accordingly.

Group Announcements
It’s also important to note that announcements posted by admins before the group became public will no longer by accessible to group members. Old announcements aren’t permanently deleted and will reappear if the group becomes private again.

Group Blog
Lastly, if you have the group blog enabled, changing your group from private to public won’t automatically change the privacy settings of your blog. To update the settings of your group blog, please visit the “Group Blog” setting of the Admin panel.
