Group Privacy

When creating a group you can decide whether the group is Private or Public. Public groups are viewable by everyone while Private groups require membership.

To enable this feature you will need to enable the included "Organic groups field access" module.

For the example below the Group Content Type will be named "Group Content", while the group itself will be called "Group".

Go to Configuration > Organic groups field settings (admin/config/group/fields).

• Select your "Group" type in the "Bundles" dropdown. Add the "Group visibility" field.
• Select your "Group content" type in the "Bundles" dropdown. Add the "Group content visibility" field.

While creating your "Group", you may add the field "group_access". If you have already created the group simply goto Structure-> Content Types -> Group

• Add Existing Field "Group Visibility".
• Select "group_access" as "Fields to Share".
• Leave "Check boxes/radio buttons".
