How do I add or remove a Group Leader?

Each group on your SilkStart site can have designated Group Leaders. These are typically the people who moderate the group and invite others to join. 

Add Group Leaders: 

1. Navigate to yoursite.com/groups
2. Click on your group of choice
3. Scroll down to the Leaders section of the right-hand column
4. Click "Add a Leader" and begin typing a member's name until you see your desired selection
   
   

Remove/Edit Group Leaders:

1. Navigate to yoursite.com/groups
2. Click on your group of choice
3. Click "Edit" from the right-hand Actions panel
4. Click the "Members" tab
5. Find the Group Leader to remove, and un-check the box for "Group Leader" next to their listing
   
6. Save your changes - the member will remain as part of the group, but no longer have Group Leader permissions. To remove a member from a group completely, repeat steps 1-4 and instead click the red "Remove" button on the member's listing. 
7. New Group Leaders may also be appointed from this page by checking the "Group Leader" box on their listing

Additionally, a Group Leader may leave the group on their own if they no longer wish to be a leader. 

What can a Group Leader do?

Group Leaders have the ability to edit the settings of the group, message all members, add new leaders, invite others, create a sub-group, and delete the group's content or the group itself.

Important Notes: 

• Group Leaders do not need to be admins of your site - they can be regular members! 
• A member must have an active membership to be added as a Group Leader.
• Group Leaders can manage their notification preferences by clicking "Manage your group leader notification preferences" in the Actions menu of the group. 
• Someone must be a Group Leader to successfully use the member Invite functions.
