Frequently Asked Questions

Does privacy or status propagate from group to subgroup?

No. The plugin creates a hierarchy of group URLs, but does not put restrictions on the subgroup.

Are group members automatically added to a subgroup?

No. I don’t know how you will want to use subgroups, so no assumptions have been made.

If I restrict new groups to member or admins, can a subgroup be made with more lenient restrictions?

Yes. Restrictions affect only the group to which they are applied. Subgroups can themselves be more or less restrictive.

Do activity stream messages propagate up (from child to parent) or down (from parent to child)?

No. There is no way to have activity propagate up without creating duplicate entries in the sitewide activity stream.
