About the Groups Create Requests API

The Groups Create Requests API provides functionality for managing requests to create a group.

With the Groups Create Requests API, you can:

• Approve or reject requests to create a group.
• List or query requests to create a group.

Before you begin

It is important to note that this module is only relevant if admin approval is required for creating a group.

Who can create a group

Wix users determine who can create a group. This setting can be found in a site's Dashboard under Groups > General Settings > Group Creation.

• If set to members with approval, site members can create a group with Create Group, and the group becomes a createRequest with a status of PENDING. A group admin either approves or rejects the request to create a group.

• If set to all site members, site members can create a group with Create Group and no approval is required.

• If set to only admins, only group admins can create a group with Create Group. The default is set to members with approval.

Terminology

• Group request: A request made by a site member to create a group.
• Wix user: A site owner or a site collaborator with Manage Groups permissions. Wix users determine who can create groups in a site's Dashboard under Groups > General Settings > Group Creation.
