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 User groups under the Network section.

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 User groups located in the Community tab, find the group that you are interested in partaking in, and then select Join

Note: If you are joining a closed user group, a group administrator will review your request and will contact you for any further information.
