Group admin and creator roles

Inside every group there are three kinds of members: the creator, the admins, and regular members. Their names show up with a small badge so it's clear who's who.

Creator

The creator is the person who started the group. There's only one, and the role can't be transferred — once you create a group, you're the creator for the life of the group. The creator can do everything: invite anyone, remove anyone, pin posts, edit the group's name and description, and promote or demote admins.

Admin

The creator (and any existing admin) can promote any regular member to admin. Admins help with the day-to-day — pinning posts, handling reports, inviting new members, and removing rule-breaking content. There can be more than one admin.

Regular member

Regular members can post, comment, RSVP to events, and invite people they're already connected with. The vast majority of group activity happens between regular members.

Where the badges appear

Beside someone's name on a post, comment, or member-list row, you'll see a small Creator or Admin badge if they're one. Regular members have no badge.

How to become an admin

Ask the group's creator or any existing admin. To promote someone, they open the Members dialog (click the member-count chip in the group header) and pick Promote to admin from the three-dot menu next to your name. You get a notification when you're promoted.

The Admin panel

Admins and the creator see a shield icon in the group header (tooltip Admin panel). It links to a separate page at /groups/[groupId]/admin with four tabs:

• Reports — posts flagged by members, with tools to remove them or close the report.
• Notifications — a stream of who joined, who left, and other admin-relevant activity.
• Pending invitations — invitations still waiting for a response, with a Cancel button on each.
• Activity — an audit log of every admin action taken in the group.
