Create a club and choose its privacy
Where: Groups directory → create group
Steps
- Enable member-created groups if wanted and review the owner limit.
- Enter group title/description and choose its category.
- Choose Open, Closed or Private intentionally.
- Submit; if member groups require approval wait for moderator review.
- Open its direct URL as guest, a non-member and a joined member before posting sensitive content.
Check the result
Open groups have a public page and open joining; Closed groups have a public page and join requests but protected discussions; Private groups are invitation-only and not public.
If it does not work
Community clubs are not the core permission groups used to grant forum access. Creating a club does not automatically grant category posting privileges.
