Overview
User groups provide community members an opportunity to connect and engage with one another based on common interest, industry, and region.
Access the user groups directory
There are two different ways to access the user group directory.
The first way is to select the Community tab, then click on User groups under the Network section.
The second way is to scroll down the Compass homepage until you see the Join a user group link under the Explore the community section.
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.
Leave a user group
To leave a user group, go to the group's page, click the three vertical dots icon, and select Leave Group Hub.
