@RobertWood Alnoor wanted to know if we could create a private group for those registered for his scripting class in Vegas, like invitation only? He wants a place where they can post questions and he can post info. Is that possible? Even if it is, is it much work? Let me know. And thanks!

Sure. We can. It's not too much work. The groups would have to be setup and members added. We might merge the group into the Advanced scripting group eventually. Should we do something similar for the SI class?

We could if Eric wants it. I'll ask him. If I give you the list of the scripting attendees, can you just add them or would they get an invite?

They will get an invite. What I'd do is set it up, send them an email, and then send them the invite.

Here is the list - obviously, don't forget Alnoor!

And Nicole Ronchetti, his assistant.

And myself, please?

And me????

I can't add Scott Firgens because he's not a Socialcast member. Otherwise everyone else should get invites. I'll follow up in a couple of days, but I'll send an email out in a few minutes.

Alnoor is asking about how to handle non member attendees in the group? Thoughts?

Hmm, that's a tough one. What are your thoughts?

Could you limit them to JUST the scripting group?? Maybe they'll see the benefit of the group and join as a full member? @RobertWood

@JimWoodhead do you remember what the limitation is on External Users and why we stopped using them?

The group need to be set up as an external group from the get go. Any External users needed to setup and could only see the external groups. Internal searches didn't show in normal searches back then. Everyone needed to be invited manually.

I think there was issue merging groups external to internal ones anyways. but I am sure that Socialcast support can assist with it .

I'm good with it if that's all there was. If everyone is OK with it, I can add them to that group.

Make it so!!

So they will only have access to that group? After the conference (and a short followup time?) can we then inactivate them?

Yes.

Sounds good!

The problem is I can't change the existing group. I'll look at it more later.

You can't just add a member?

If I add them as a member to a group, they can see all of the non private groups. If we create the group as an External Group and they are added as an external member, they can't. I can delete the existing group and recreate it. I'm looking to see if there is an alternative.

Gotcha.
