[unconfirmed] There is no option to change the entry permissions on a group.

You get to set how people enter a group when you make it (Public, Invite, Private), but I can't find a way to change it in my made group!

What I did:
1) I made a group on the "Invite" setting.
2) I looked in the group settings for a way to change the group entry to "Public," but I can't find one.

I'm using Chrome, but I don't think it matters that much. :P
If I'm being blind, please let me know! ^^

  • +1 please fix! I'm using Chrome and I can't see that option either. It's a real pain in the butt, I really don't want to have to create a public version of the same group and ask everyone to move over!

  • Bumping. I have come across this same issue tonight. I made a group private to start, with intention of making it public once we gathered a few members. However there seems to be no option for that when you click "modify settings".
    Unlike the previous 2 posts, I am using Firefox and see no option.

    If I am just missing it somewhere... could someone please direct me in the right direction? :)

  • I have yet to find a way to change a group from invite only either. 
    Easiest thing to do for now is give more people the invite privilege.
    I might add that the kick/ban doesn't seem to be an real option either. It says the admin, or anyone else admin specifies, can do it, but I don't see how.

  • Realizing that forums and groups are far less important than getting the game ready, I do want to ask if fixing the issues with groups not having all the functionality they seem to offer is on the "to do" list.
    I see the powers that be have stepped in to change a groups status (private to public, invite to request, etc.) for some when asked.
    I'm looking at other posts here for the ability to close groups, for the kick/ban option to actually work, and of course this and others about the permissions. I'm not asking for all the stickies, colors, profile pics, tags, highlight own topics, search within group and so on, just the things it really looks like an admin should already be able to do.
    Also, if I restrict a member's view of discussions, I'd like that to expand to the chat window view too.

  • I'd just like the ability to kick/ban a player from the group. I don't see the purpose behind allowing someone into the group but not allowing them to view anything. Easier to just boot them out.

  • This is still a fix I would very much like to see. The "Invite" option has been reworded to say "Public Approval (Anyone can apply to join, but must be approved)" but apparently, that still means "Invite Only" (at least I'm 99% positive I chose that setting, yet there are those that are met with a message stating they must be invited to the group).

    I would just like a little bit more control over the group settings.
