Any person can request to join a restricted group, but the moderator of the group must accept or reject the request. Members of a restricted group can discuss matters among the group and non-members do not have access to those discussions or documents within the group.
When a department page is created, an open community group is automatically created and associated with the department, as shown in the following figure. Anyone in the intranet can join that public group.
For information about joining or inviting colleagues to a group, see Adding Members to a Restricted Group.
If you want to use the eI_CommunityGroupMembers widget to display only the staff members of your department, create a new, restricted group and invite only the members of the department staff.
Note: To find the Group ID, open the Workarea and choose Settings > Community Management > Tags > Community Groups. The group list displays in the main panel. Note the ID number for the Editing Widget dialog box.
