Set up groups

This is an admin task. Groups represent the organizing bodies in your neighborhood, like a board or its committees. They control who appears together, who can create events, and who can approve amenity reservations.

Open Groups:

Create a group

Each group has:

• A kind: Board, Committee, or Other.
• An optional description and meeting note.
• A visibility: public groups are visible to everyone; private groups are visible only to admins and the group's own members.
• An event creation role, which controls whether being in the group lets people create events:
  • None: membership doesn't grant event creation.
  • Leaders: only members holding a named role (not the generic member role) can create events.
  • Members: everyone in the group can create events.

Groups can be reordered, and they can be assigned as approvers for amenities that require approval.

Roster and roles

Each group has a roster. Add an active, claimed resident, assign them a role, and optionally record a contact email and phone for the group's lead.

Group roles are the titles used within each kind of group. Each kind comes with sensible defaults (a board has President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary, and Member; a committee has Chair, Vice Chair, and Member). You can create custom roles, rename them, reorder them, and delete a role that isn't in use. The first role in a group's order is treated as the group's lead.
