Overview
User groups provide community members an opportunity to connect and engage with one another based on common interest, industry, and region.
Accessing the user groups directory
There are two different ways to access the user group directory.
The first way is by selecting the Community tab and then click on the User groups link under the Network section.
The second way is by scrolling down the Compass homepage until you see the Join a User Group header located at the middle of the screen.
Joining 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, start by clicking on the User groups link located in the Community tab, find the group that you are interested in partaking in, and then click the Join button.
Note: If you are joining a closed user group, a group administrator will review your request and will contact you for any further information.
Setting up notifications for user groups
To enable this specific setting, start by clicking My settings in the drop-down menu of your user icon, select Notification Settings in the Subscriptions & Notifications tab, and then check mark the box below.
