The amount of detail that you see and the kinds of things you can do on a group’s page depends on a few things. The group type; your membership, your ownership or management of the group, and your group role all affect what you can do.

## Non-Members of Public Groups

If you’re viewing the group detail page of a public group that you’re not a member of, you can:

- Post an update or add a comment, and click **Share**.
- To join the group, click **Join**.
- View group description and information. The group description and information appear in a separate column next to the feed.
- View the group's members. The Group Members section shows the group's current members, including external customers who are members of the group.
- View, download, and search files posted to the group. Files posted to the group feed or shared with the group appear in the Group Files section.
- View the topics the group is talking about. The group's topics appear under posts in the group feed.
- Search for group information.

## Non-Members of Private Groups

If you're viewing the group detail page of a private group that you're not a member of, you can only:

- Ask to join the group. To request to join a group, click **Ask to Join**. This action sends an email to the owner and managers of the private group.
- View the group's picture and description.
- View the group's members. The Group Members section shows the group's current members, including any external customers who are members of the group.

## Nonmembers of Unlisted Groups

If you're not a member of an unlisted group, you can’t view the group detail page.

## Group Members of Public, Private, and Unlisted Groups

When you’re a member of a public, private, or unlisted group, you can also:

- Change Your Email Settings and In-App Notifications for the Salesforce Mobile App. In Lightning Experience, click **Email Notifications** from the group highlights panel to modify your group email settings. In Salesforce Classic, click **Email Me...** to set up email about activity in the group, either whenever someone posts, daily, or weekly. Selecting **Every Post** also turns on in-app notifications for groups in the Salesforce mobile app. To stop receiving email and mobile notifications for the group's activity, click **Turn Off Group Email**. To modify all your Chatter email settings, click **Email Settings**
- Invite people. If your administrator has enabled invitations, click **Invite People** to invite people to join the group. For private groups, only the group manager, group owner, or users with the Modify All Data permission can invite people. For unlisted groups, only the group manager, group owner, or users with the Manage Unlisted Groups permission can invite people.
- Leave the group. To leave a group, or withdraw a request to join a private group, click ![blue X button](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-experience-collaboration-264-0-0-production-enus/1aab5b5e-c990-4b8c-840a-6fb18af49709/collaboration/images/eop_following_on.png). To leave a group that you own, you must first assign a new owner.

## Group Owners and Group Managers

When you’re the owner or manager of a public, private, or unlisted group, you can also:

- Add or remove group members.
- Change the group photo.
- Edit group settings.
- Edit the Information section, To add information for the group's members, click **Add Information** or ![Edit File](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-experience-collaboration-264-0-0-production-enus/1aab5b5e-c990-4b8c-840a-6fb18af49709/collaboration/images/file_edit.png) in the Information section. You can customize this section, including its title.
- Edit the Description section. To add a description of the group, click **Add Description** or ![Edit File](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-experience-collaboration-264-0-0-production-enus/1aab5b5e-c990-4b8c-840a-6fb18af49709/collaboration/images/file_edit.png) in the Description section.
