Wix Groups: Adding and Managing Your Group Members

6 min read
Add people to your group to bring them into a shared space where they can network, collaborate and start discussions.

You can also assign members as a group admin if you need help monitoring your group activity and managing the member list. Additionally, you can grant members permission to create groups by themselves and build an online community around your business.
