We need to be able to set private groups that do the following.

1. Non members can not see posts

2. Non members can request to join

3. Privae group is listed in group list.


Not being able to list groups as private and have them in the group list stops groups from growing discouraging members from starting groups that they want private.

the current "private" group setting is more like "hidden"

so basically no way to list the group, show group details but hide group posts for non members?
There is!!! "non-member will see group listing and general content of restricted group. They will also be able to join (without the need of invitation) with the approval of group admin."

but non members can see posts.
Nope! "2. Restricted Group: Hide group's content and only show general info to non-member."

just done a test

see recent activity on a restricted group when not a member.

Sorry not meaning to be annoying.
I am proposing a guideline for this change to be implemented in the next version. Not saying it is currently.

Ok no problem Sounds good.

This is how it currently is:

Public

Anyone can read messages without being a member of the group and are able to join the group to join conversations.
The content of the group may be published on the Global timeline.

Private

Only members of the group can read messages. Access to the group only by invitation by the Group Admin.
The content of the group is not shared on the Global timeline. If you have access to a private group then the content only is displayed on you personal timeline.

Kent, please have this planned for the next version. See "Accepted Note" above.
