Join groups

Depending on the type of group, ordinary users can actively apply or join a group through passive invitation.

• A private group only allows the creator to invite members to join the group. Other users cannot search, view, or actively join the group.
• A public group supports two joining methods: creator invitation and members' active joining application.

Apply to join a group

1. Log in to iPortal, click "Groups" on the navigation bar;
2. On the "Groups" page, select the "All Groups" tab on the sub-navigation bar, and select "Unjoined Groups" on the "Type" pane of the left panel, the right area lists all the groups that you can join. Find one you want to join, click "View Details" of the group item to join to enter the details page;
3. Click the "Join Group" button on the right, then you will be included in the group immediately. If the group creator configured the join request review function, you will be included in the group only if your request is approved.

Invite group members

1. If you are the group creator, you can invite members into your group. On the group details page, click the "Invite Member" button on right, in the pop-up, search and check target members via user name or nickname. If the number of portal users is large, it is recommended that the administrator configure the username search mode to fuzzy matching in the iportal.xml configuration file to improve the lookup efficiency.
2. Click "Send Invitation" to invite users to the group. Invited users can view the invitation information in "My Messages, or directly click the icon to view the invitation information on the "Groups" page.
