How can I manage membership requests and add members?
To manage membership requests:
- Log in to the Learning Lab site.
- On the homepage of the Group, click on the "Group" tab (next to the "View," "Edit," and "Track" tabs).
- Click on "People."
- Check the box next to the member’s name.
- Near the top of the page there is a box that says "Update Options" - select either approve or deny membership and click update.
- It is always good practice to explain any denied requests so that people understand the criteria for participating in the group.
To add new members manually:
- Log in to the Learning Lab site.
- On the homepage of the Group, click on the "Group" tab (next to the "View," "Edit," and "Track" tabs).
- Click on "Add People."
- Type their username.
- Click on add users.
