Requesting Group Membership
You can request membership
to a group in the Web community if the group is public. If the group is
private, the request membership option will not be available to you.
The request membership option displays when you open the group you want
to join.
When your request to join a group is accepted, you
receive an email notification confirming your membership and the group
displays in the Your Groups section of the right sidebar on your Home
page.
