# About the Groups APIs

The Groups APIs allow you to offer site members places to participate in discussions, share media, and more. You can create and manage site members using the [Members APIs](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/crm/members-contacts/members/introduction.md), which handle member accounts, profiles, and authentication.  

With the Groups APIs, you can:
- Create and manage [groups](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/crm/community/groups/groups/introduction.md).
- Manage group [rules](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/crm/community/groups/rules/introduction.md).
- Manage [requests](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/crm/community/groups/create-group-requests/introduction.md) to create new groups.
- Manage group [members](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/crm/community/groups/member-management/members/introduction.md).
- Manage group member [roles](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/crm/community/groups/member-management/roles/introduction.md).
- Manage member [requests to join groups](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/crm/community/groups/member-management/join-requests/introduction.md).
- Manage [membership questions](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/crm/community/groups/member-management/membership-questions/introduction.md) for prospective members.
