Public Groups

Public Groups enable people to view groups they are not members of. For example, suppose you want to enable people to view the Deacons group. This will enable anyone with an Engage account for your organization to have the ability to see the members of the Deacons group, as well as ways to contact them.

Creating a Public Group

1. Sign in to Engage as an Engage Administrator.

3. On the sidebar menu, click Groups.

5. A pop-up window will appear. Click OK

Viewing a Public Group
