Why become a member of a group?

• The owner of the group can promote or demote members to authors or administrators of the group. Read more about managing members and their rights.
• The owner of the group can see all the emailadresses from the members.

• If you create an event (read here how to do this) and you link a group to that event, the members of that group get an email invitation. This is very handy if you want to invite your members of a club and inform them about a route they will have to follow. You can see on the event page who confirms and who doesn't. You even get a confirmation email.

How to add members to your group

Do it yourself

• Log in
• Go to your group (My Space -> My Content ->My Groups)
• Select Administration
• Select Suboption Members
• You can add a member by entering an e-mail address
  • Remark!
    • This is only possible when that user has an account on RouteYou with that email address
    • If the invited doesn't have yet an account on RouteYou, send them first a mail to get an account on RouteYou
    • As a member, you can always desactivate your membership (see also the item on Spam)

Ask them to do it

• Ask your potential group members to login on RouteYou en visit your grouppage on RouteYou
• On this page they can join your group

How become a member from a group?

• Log in and go to the group page of the group
• If the owner of the group allows it, you can join the group here

Questions

Can not-members see routes of my group? And private routes?

Not-members can see routes of your group when these routes are public. Private routes added to a group can only be seen by the members of that group (and the owner of the routes).

What's a 'join code' from a group?

You can set a join code in the administration of a group. A join code from a group is handy when you setted in the administration of the group that nobody can join the group but you want anyway allow some users to become a member of the group. In that case you set a join code and give the join code to the desired users. The 'join'-button is in that case visible for anybody but only users with a join code can join the groep and become a member.

Spam

Hierarchy of membership

A member is of a specific type. Linked to that type are a set of rights

• member: you can see the group (also in the case if the group is hidden) and all public and private routes in that group
• author: you can link routes to a group (also if this is blocked for others by the admin or owner)
• admin(istrator): you can manage the group and you have the same rights as the owner, ...
• owner: can manage the group (created the group)

Become a member of a group

You can become member of any group if that is allowed by the group owner or group admin

(Read here how you can become member of a group or add members to your group).

(Read here how you can manange your groups as owner or admin).

Promote or demote a member

You can give a member more or less rights by promoting or demoting the member (member, author, admin, owner)

This is the process

1. Log in first
2. Go to your group (read here how to find your route)
3. Select "Administration" of the group (tab top right of the group)
4. Select the subtab Members
5. At the bottom, you will find the list of the members of the group
6. Select to the right of the members the options "promote" or "demote"

Remove/delete a member

Same method as to promote a member but select the option exclude.

Tip

If you have two accounts on RouteYou, you can make both accounts member of your group(s).

Promote yourself with your second account to Admin. The result is that you have all the rights of your group via the two accounts. So you can manage the group via both accounts.
