Group Privacy and Visibility
Your group's privacy and visibility setting is one of three values (Open, Closed, or Private). See our support article for more details on what those settings mean.
In our v1 API, you can control the setting with the interplay of two values:
privacy
andpublic_form
. To create a group with the desired setting, use the below combinations:
- Open -
privacy
= 5,public_form
= true- Closed -
privacy
= 5,public_form
= false- Private -
privacy
= 10You can think of
public_form
as a flag determining if your group will appear on the/network-groups
page - that is, this flag decides if non-community members can easily find your group. In the event you're creating aPrivate
group,public_form
is ignored and your group will not appear on the/network-groups
page regardless of its value.
