Your workspace offers three types of groups, each with unique permissions to access the content and information within the group.
Open Groups
Open groups are the default setting for groups in your workspace.
Open groups and the content within them can be accessed by all members of your workspace—either by visiting the group directly or discovering the content via search.
Open groups can be joined by all members of your workspace.
Secret Groups
Secret groups are the most private groups in your workspace.
Secret groups and the content within them are only visible to the group's members, who need to be invited to the group by an admin or group owner.
Only group members will see a secret group's content in their search results.
Secret groups and their content can be seen by Workspace Admins.
Secret groups are marked with a secret eye icon across the workspace.
Closed Groups
Closed groups are a flexible option that sits between open groups and secret groups.
Closed groups can be seen by all members of the workspace, but to access a closed group's content, individuals must either be invited OR request access to join the group.
Only group members will see a closed group's content in their search results.
Group owners and workspace admins can approve the join requests in a closed group.
Closed groups are marked with a lock icon across the workspace.
