I’ve seen this question pop up in multiple forums but can’t seem to find what I need – sorry if this is redundant.

I want users to be able to join, create, and leave / delete user groups.

Once you’re in a group, you can see specific details of other users in it.

Thanks so much!

There are a few ways to accomplish this. Do the users in these groups all belong to the same organization (company interest groups, for example), or are they public groups that anyone can join? If the latter, you’ll need to mind PII for data security:

> wave Hey fellow Gliders! Are you using Row Owners and Public Profiles to secure your user data? If not, you might accidentally expose private info. Let’s fix that. In this important tutorial, I demonstrate how and why to enable Row Owners, create a Public Profiles table, and onboard new users in order to safely create a community app that doesn’t reference the User Profile table.

Here’s the setup I would take:

They are private groups that they can create and share with friends – not preset company groups or open groups.

How are they sharing the groups? How are users joining (ideally)?

1. inputting an access code
