Subgroups setting

Restriction: Subgroups are available in Premium groups and Enterprise groups as well as in Free groups that were created before January 15, 2020. Free groups created after January 15, 2020 cannot have subgroups.

Location in desktop browser: Left menu > Admin > Preferences > Settings > Premium & Enterprise Features panel on the Settings page > Subgroups section

Location on mobile device: Bottom of page > More > Admin > Preferences > Settings > Premium & Enterprise Features panel on the Settings page > Subgroups section

! Important: Setting changes take effect after you click or tap the Update Group button at the bottom of the page.

With this setting, you can specify who is allowed to create new subgroups. From the Permissions list in the Subgroups section of the panel, select the option you want to use:

  • Members
    All members of the group can create new subgroups.
  • Moderators and Owners
    Only moderators and owners can create new subgroups.
  • Owners Only
    Only owners can create subgroups.

Note: You can create subgroups during a free trial of a Premium group. However, if you decide not to continue with a paid Premium plan after the trial days are up, those subgroups will be locked. (They will not be deleted in case you decide to upgrade to a paid plan in the future.)
