Private Groups

Keep your community members-only with Pro private groups.

Private groups keep your community members-only. Only approved members can view events, posts,and discussions. Everyone else sees a simple landing page where they can request to join.

Private groups are a Pro feature. When you turn privacy on, Radius also hides the group fromsearch, the groups map, and public activity feeds. Read more in our blog post about private groups.

Note: You need an active Pro subscription for the group. Free groups can turn privacy off, but cannot enable it without upgrading.

What changes

  • Non-members cannot view group content, event pages, or calendar feeds
  • Join requests must be approved before someone becomes a member
  • The group is hidden from public discovery on Radius

Members still see the full group page. A small lock badge appears next to the group name soeveryone knows the community is private.
