Frequently Asked Questions
Can I create my own group?
Yes! Any registered subscriber can create a public group. Subscribers with paid subscriptions can also create private groups.
To create your own group, select the Groups tab, then click the 'Create a New Group' option.
Can I restrict membership to my group to employees of my company?
Yes, based on e-mail address. You can require that members'
e-mail addresses end with the appropriate suffix (e.g. jdoe@myco.com).
What if my company has multiple e-mail domains?
No problem! You can name as many suffixes as you wish for a single group (e.g. myco.com and myco.co.uk).
Will employees automatically join my group if they have the right e-mail address?
If you like, yes! Or, you can configure group memberships to require your approval. It’s your choice.
Can I be sure that an applicant's e-mail address is real?
Yes. We require all subscribers' e-mail addresses be verified before they can join any groups.
Who will be the administrator for my group(s)?
The creator of a group is automatically its first administrator.
An adminstrator can make any other member an administrator too, as required.
Can I control visibility of my contact information based on the viewers' group memberships?
Yes! Any contact data that you enter (e.g. e-mail address, phone, IM account) can be configured to indicate which groups' members may view it.
