other Intrexx Share users. Via the privacy settings you can specify precisely
which people can see the group and its posts.

lists all of the groups, will be refreshed.
Here, you can see when and
by whom the latest change in the group was made. By clicking on the name
of the colleague, who made the most recent change, you will
switch to their
personal page. The following actions are considered to be changes to a
group:
Create, edit, delete post
Create, delete comment
By clicking on the number of recipients, an additional area
will be opened which displays the profile pictures of the group members. Click on

Privacy settings
Intrexx Share differentiates between three different group types:
Public groups
A public group can be see by every Intrexx Share user. All posts written
by group members are also visible to non-members of the group. Writing
posts or Actions,
such as Like, Remind me or Share,
can, however, only be performed by group members.
Groups with restricted visibility
The description of a group with restricted visibility is visible to
all Intrexx Share users. The members and posts are not shown to
non-members.
Private groups
The group, and its members and posts will only be shown to members
and people to whom the group was recommended.
Public groups and groups with limited visibiliy provide non-members with the
ability to apply for membership. The group's moderator can confirm or deny
the application. For private groups, the moderator can add group members.
People who have received a recommendation for a private group, can join the group
directly. Decide which of the privacy settings should be applied to your group.
Activate membership requests
For public groups, you can decide whether users can participate in the group
without a member request or whether they need to apply
for group members. Even if this option is activated, all Intrexx Share users can
see the group and its members and posts.
Add a post to News that the group was created
For public groups and groups with limited visibiliy, you can activate this option to
create a post on
News drawing other users' attention to the new group.
Members can send recommendations
With this setting, group members can recommend
the group to other Intrexx Share users.
Close group
Neither posts
nor comments can

In accordance with a group's privacy settings
and your membership status, the element Filter by category
can be used to filter the groups in the middle.
The category Mine will limit the groups in the
overview to those where you are a moderator or a member.
The Mine filter category is default,
meaning you need to
deactivate it if you want to see all groups, which you're allowed
to see, in the overview.
Recommended shows the groups, where you are not
already a member, for which you have received a recommendation from the
respective group members. The category More
shows the groups which are public or have restricted visibility and do not
already fall into one of the other categories. If more than one category is
chosen at once, the overview will show all of the groups that match at least
one of the selected categories.
