Create and manage your groups using the Wix Owner app to connect with new members and keep existing ones up-to-date. Set permissions for members, invite others to help you manage the group, update your group privacy settings, and more.
Customizing your group makes it stand out and helps it match your brand. You can decide the level of access that group members have so they can interact with each other and participate in discussions about shared interests, post media, and share updates.
