User Initiated Group Membership Actions

As a non admin user, you can perform following actions related to group memberships.

Self Joining a Group

If the group has Open membership type and is publicly visible, then non members can join the group themselves by opening the group details and clicking on the Join button

Self Leaving a Group

Similarly once the user has become member of a group, they can leave the group also, by clicking on the Leave button. After the user leaves the group, their existing course session enrollments will still be valid, but would not be able to enroll in new sessions which are part of the group. Self leave option is disabled by default but can be enabled by editing the groups and setting option Allow Self Leave.

Requesting Membership of a Group

If the group is publicly visible but has membership type set to by request, then non members would see a Request Membership button on the group details page. Click on it to send a membership request. Group admin would receive a notification, and they can approve or reject the request.

Cancelling the membership request

Once your request is posted, you will find a Cancel request button, click on it to cancel your request.
