# Method name: joinCommunity()

# Method package: wixMembersV2

# Method menu location: wixMembersV2 --> members --> joinCommunity

# Method Link: https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/apis/wix-members-v2/members/join-community.md

# Method Description:

Joins the currently logged-in member to the site community and sets their profile to public.

When a member's profile is public, they have access to the site's
[Members Area](https://support.wix.com/en/article/about-members-area)
features — such as chat, forum, and followers —
and their profile is visible to other members and site visitors.

> **Note:**
> Only logged-in members can call this function without elevated permissions.
> To call this function as a different identity, [elevated permissions](https://www.wix.com/velo/reference/wix-auth/elevate) are required.



# Method Code Examples:

*** Note: do not assume any prop names or enum values other than the ones in the example.

## Make currently logged-in member's profile public (export from backend code)

```javascript
import { members } from 'wix-members.v2';
import { webMethod, Permissions } from 'wix-web-module';  

export const myJoinCommunityFunction = webMethod(
  Permissions.Anyone,
  async () => {
    try {
      const member = await members.joinCommunity();
      console.log('Joined site community:', member);

      return member;
    } catch (error) {
      console.error(error);
      // Handle the error
    }
  }
);
