If your group is of Joinless type, you do not need to manage membership because the group by definition has no members and all content is available to users based on site-wide roles, not group-level user types.

Note: You must have the Group - Links widget loaded onto the page and configured with the Manage Members Link property enabled.

Public and private groups include three group roles:

Group role Description and permissions not available
 Default permissions and permissions available
Group Owner

Person responsible for managing group membership, group applications, and and content.

Does not have these permissions:
