Who can join is a feature you can use with new and existing groups to help manage whether Anyone or Approved members can join your group. When you enable Anyone, any contact can join your group via a join link, QR code, Discover, or Campus Connect. When you enable Approved members, any contact attempting to join your group via a join link, QR code, Discover, or Campus Connect will have to be approved by a group administrator.
Note: Who can join is available in GroupMe for iOS, Android, and Web.
