Groups

Groups in BuddyPress are gatherings of members, posts, and any other user-generated content.

If enabled by the site administrator, any member can create a group in BuddyPress. When a member creates a group, this person automatically becomes the group administrator.

Group administrators can also approve requests to join the private group, invite friends to congregate within a hidden group, establish communications among members, extend privileges to other members, and enable new features (such as Group Forums if enabled by Super Admin) among others.

The following is a table of contents outlining each specific area that the Groups component entails:
