Requirements:
- V4.4.0+
- Cron job set up (if converting old Groups from prior v4 versions)
...
- Can browse groups? -> This setting allows or disallows that user group access to seeing the public Groups in the groups app. Private Groups are always restricted to their allowed users for privacy.
- Can add a cover photo on groups? -> Allows or disallows users in this user group to add cover photos to their Group.
- Can moderate groups? -> Allows/disallows moderation permissions for this user group to approve/disapprove new Groups if you set the Approve New Groups to yes as well.
- Can add groups? -> Allows or disallows this user group to add Groups.
- Max file size for upload files in kilobits (kb). For unlimited add "0" without quotes. -> Sets the file size for uploads in this User Group for the Groups they make.
- Approve a new group before it is displayed publicly? -> This sets whether Groups need to be approved before they go "live". If you set the Can Moderate Groups, then your any user groups set to be able to approve new Groups will be able to do so.
- Activity points received when creating a new group. -> Allows you to set the amount of points each user group gets for making new Groups.
Converting Old v4.0 - v4.3.x Groups (Optional)
If you desire to import your current Groups from the Pages module into the new Groups App, as long as you are on one of the v4 versions already, please follow these steps. You will need to be comfortable with setting a cron job if you have 500 or more groups.
- Set up cron if needed (recommended method even for small amounts of groups).
- Now, while in the Group App screen (see beginning of this tutorial for location), select Convert Old Groups
- Choose the method you are using, Directly or Cron Job.
- It will go through the process and notify you when done. You can leave the screen to do other things other than clearing your site cache. Don't clear cache yet.
