Community structure
Groups
Organize your community the way people naturally gather with focused spaces that drive meaningful participation.
Design spaces with a clear purpose
Increase relevance through segmentation
Groups let you organize members by role, interest, location, or program so conversations, content, and events feel targeted instead of generic.
Empower leaders without losing control
Assign group-level admins who can manage members and communications without losing visibility or control.
Support communities within your community
Create public, private, or invisible groups—each with their own members, content, and leaders—while keeping everything connected in one platform.
How Groups works
Choose how members join
Create Open (anyone joins), Private (join requests approved), or Closed (admin-only) groups. Hide groups for exclusive communities.
Customize each group
Each group has its own live feed, forum, directory, events, and news. Enable features and brand each group while staying consistent with the wider community.
Easily manage groups
Admins manage members, approve requests, create content, send campaigns, and set permissions. Rights can be tailored for events, memberships, or forums.
Find and join groups
Groups appear in a searchable index (unless hidden) and can be filtered by category or tags. Members can browse and join multiple groups.
Other features
Suggest other Hivebrite features to link out to.
