Group Personal privacy.
- If it does not matter who joins your Group or who sees the material posted, then you can develop a Public Group. Anybody can find your Group, join it and see and publish content.
- If you wish to restrict who joins your Group and the content only be seen by those in the Group, then produce a Closed Group. I suggest this setting. Members need to request to join the Group and be authorized by an admin before they can see any material. But you do not need to be Facebook pals with somebody in order for them to find the Group.
