What You Can Do in a Group

What you can see and do in a group depends on whether you're a guest, a member, or the leader.

Guests, Members, and Leaders

Guest
Someone who has been invited to a group's events but isn't on the roster — a visitor trying out a class, for example.
Group member
Someone on the group's roster. Most people in a group are members.
Group leader
The person who runs the group. A member can be made a leader by an administrator, or by another leader of the group.

An administrator or a user with permission decides how much group leaders can change, so a leader at your church may not have every option in the last column.

Note: Group leaders can't see contact information you've set to be visible to users with permission only.
Note: No one can remove themselves from a group — members and leaders alike. Ask the group's leader, or an administrator at your church, to take you off the roster.
