Join a user group

There are two types of user groups in the community which are open and closed. Open user groups are the most accessible and membership is available to all community members. Closed user groups are more private and can either be invite-only or require a registration such as the Admirals Club. In order to post in any user group, whether it may be open or closed, you must first become a member.

To join a user group, click on User groups under the Community tab, find a group you're interested in, and select Join.

Note: If you're joining a closed user group, a group administrator will review your request and may contact you for additional information.
