Q) How do I join a group in LionsLink?

A) The Group Guest View screen provides general information about a group and provides a link you can use to join the group.
To subscribe to a group

  • Click the Groups icon in the upper right corner of the LionsLink page.
  • Click the Groups Index link. To find the group that you would like to join use the search feature at the bottom of the Groups Index tab or expand the categories. The system will display the results of your search on the Group Search Results screen.
  • Click the name of the group you want to join to view the group's guest view page.
To join a public group
  • Click Join Group on the Guest View screen. You will now see the Join a Group page.
  • You must read the membership policy, and click the checkboxes showing you have read and understand the group membership policy. You also must agree to share your username and e-mail address with other group members.
  • Click Join to join the group, or click Cancel to exit without joining.
  • If you choose to join the group, you will see a message stating you have been made a member of the group. The group will now appear in your My Groups index and you will be able to access its member page.
To join a restricted group
  • Click Join Group on the Guest View screen. You see the Join a Group page.
  • Read the membership criteria and verify you meet the criteria.
  • You must read the membership policy, and click the checkboxes showing you have read and understand the group membership policy. You also must agree to share your username and e-mail address with other group members.
  • Enter the reasons you want to join the group in the box.
  • Click Join to join the group, or click Cancel to exit without joining.
  • You are not automatically a member of a restricted group. Your membership will be submitted to the group leader, the group leader will then accept or deny your membership. If you are denied membership, you will receive an e-mail telling you why your membership was denied.
  • If your membership is accepted, the group will appear in your My Groups index and you will be able to access its member page.
To join a hidden group
Since hidden groups do not have a guest view page, you cannot join a hidden group online. If you are invited to join a hidden group, the system administrator will add your user account to the hidden group and then notify you of your new group membership.
