Goal
Approve or reject prospective group members before they become full members and receive group messages.
Background Information
With group membership moderation enabled, a group moderator must approve each subscription request. When a recipient applies to join a group, the system sends a notification to the moderator by email or SMS. The moderator can then approve or deny the request using the links in the notification.
Group membership moderation is configured on a per-group basis and requires both specific group settings and user permissions.
Prerequisites
To moderate group membership, the following requirements must be met:
The moderator is assigned the role of Owner or Manager for the group.
The moderator has permission 502 member_admit_reject.
The group setting Managers have to confirm subscriptions is enabled.
