Allow New Members to Join via Approved Email Domains

Give colleagues instant access to your Group by whitelisting up to 10 email domains. Anyone who signs up with an approved address will see an automatic invite each time they log in until they accept or decline.

Add Approved Email Domains — Admins & Owners Only

  1. Sign in to GroupNews and click your Group name (top-left).
  2. Choose Group Settings.
  3. Scroll to Approved Email Domains.
  4. Enter each domain after the @ (e.g., example.com), separated by commas or new lines.
  5. Click Save.

Now, when someone creates a new GroupNews account using an email address from a domain you’ve approved, they will get an automatic invitation to join your Group. They will be presented with the invitation each time they sign in until they accept or decline it.

Tip: Limit the list to domains your organization controls. Adding public domains (e.g., gmail.com) lets anyone with that address join without an invite.

Remove Approved Email Domains

If you want to remove one or more approved domains you previously set, here are the steps to do so:

  1. Open Group Settings → Approved Email Domains.
  2. Delete any domain you no longer want.
  3. Click Save.
Note: Deleting a domain does not revoke pending auto-invites already sent to users from that domain.
