Getting Started for Group Administrators
Welcome to GroupNews! As a Group Administrator, you’ll create the space where every update, event, and deadline comes together. Follow these five steps to launch—and lead—your Group with confidence.
1. Create A Group
Everything in GroupNews begins with the Group: your organization’s news hub. Click + New Group on your dashboard and follow the prompts to give your community a home base. If you haven't already done so, create a Group to get started with GroupNews.
2. Invite People To Your Group
A Group isn’t a group without people. From Group Settings → Members, send invitations to coworkers, classmates, or friends. Anyone who accepts becomes a Group Member with read‑and‑comment access.
3. Create Channels
Channels keep posts organized. Your first channel is created automatically; add more—Marketing, HR, Events—as needed. Choose Public, Group‑only, or Private visibility for each.
4. Assign Authors
Authors are members who can publish Stories, Events, and Deadlines. In Channel Settings → Authors, grant publishing rights per channel. A member can author one channel or many—the choice is yours.
5. Onboard your team
