      I. Groups, Content Visibility & Calendar Events

      New group members can automatically view the below on the group page:

      • All group documents

      • All group goals

      • All group meetings

      • Group discussions, tasks, polls created after the member is added to the group

      New group members cannot see the content listed below unless they are manually added to it:

      • Past group discussions

      • Past group tasks

      • Past group polls

      New group members receive calendar events for all meetings created after their addition to the group.

      In order for new group members to have calendar events for meetings created before their addition to the group, invites for these meetings need to be re-sent to all invitees. To learn how to do so, please see Related Articles.

      When a user is removed from a group, they are removed from the group’s meetings. They receive email notifications which remove these meetings from their calendars.

      Removed group members retain access to the following content:

      • Group discussions started before their removal

      Cannot add User to Group

      When a user’s name does not drop down from the Type a person’s name field, this means either the user is already added to the group, or they are not yet added to the organization.

      Only those who are already admins, members, or observers at the organization-level can be made group members.

      Please review the group members tab and the People directory. To learn how to add someone to the organization before adding them to the group, please see Related Articles.

      Group Members Can’t Access Content

      If a person is listed in the Group Members list, but cannot access some expected items, the cause is likely that this content was created before they were added to the group. To fix this, manually edit the users added to the desired item to include the new member.

      To learn more about group content and new members, and how to edit users added to polls, tasks, and more, please see Related Articles.

      Group Member Name Duplicated

      If a group member’s name is listed multiple times on the group members list, please report this to Support. Please do not try to resolve this by removing the user from the organization.
