Group Privacy.
- If it does not matter who joins your Group or who sees the content published, then you can develop a Public Group. Anybody can discover your Group, join it and see and publish material.
- If you want to limit who joins your Group and the material only be seen by those in the Group, then develop a Closed Group. I advise this setting. Members must request to sign up with the Group and be authorized by an admin before they can see any content. But you do not need to be Facebook good friends with someone in order for them to discover the Group. You can send out the Group's url to invite people to join.
