Prevent Members Leaving Groups

[Martin Rose]

I'd like to be able to prevent members from removing themselves from certain groups, so staff only have full control over who is (and remains) in which groups.

Also, I would like to prevent them from choosing which group to display under Settings -> Display Group.

(If there's anything more you can think of related to managing groups, then please consider implementing control over those too).

Ok, well I've now discovered I can remove the 'Group' tab from everyone's profile by putting this in the global footer:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('div.ui-tabMenu ul.ui-helper-clearfix li a[href$="/groups"]').parent().hide();
});
</script>

...now leaving me to just remove the 'Display Group' field under Edit Profile -> Settings.


Anyone know how?

THANK YOU!!!

I would like to bump this since it's the same thread. Instead of removing the Group tab, is there just a way to stop someone from leaving a group except those who are able to put you into a group?

Friendly bump

Hi Usiel,

It's always better to start a new thread and perhaps link to a thread that is related to your issue. That is so this thread doesn't keep appearing in the OP's "participated" list as well as doesn't appear to be a thread where someone is being helped (replies).

In your group settings under type, you have that option.  Hover over the question mark icon above "type" and it'll tell you what each type does.

Hi,

I have almost the same request. 
I'm assigning new registrations to the group 'Guests' automatically.
On each category, except one, I set the permissions as such that 'Guest' are not allowed to view and access.
But...

Members can leave the group 'Guests'!

And then they can see more. And that what they cannot see, they can access! (links in sibebar(which is not visible to 'Guests' ))

How can I prevent members of the group 'Guests' to leave the group?

This thread is from 2013-2014. In the future, as Tumbleweed stated above, please start your own thread for the reasons given and link back to this thread for reference.

That being said, you can make the "Guests" group a Hidden group. Go to Admin > Members > Member Groups and set the Type as Hidden - this will prevent members from even seeing the group and, therefore, they will not be able to leave the group.
