About the Groups API

The Groups API provides functionality for managing groups, including creating, deleting, updating, and querying groups.

The Groups API allows you to:

• Create a new group.
• Delete or update an existing group.
• Get group information by ID or by slug.
• List or query groups.
• Handle events that trigger when a group is created, updated, or deleted.

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 the Create Group method, and the group becomes a createRequest with a status of PENDING. A Wix user either approves or rejects the request to create a group. If set to all site members, site members can create a group with the Create Group method and no approval is required. If set to only admins, only Wix users can create a group with the Create Group method.

The default is set to members with approval.
