Definition
A group in Second Life is an organisation which consits of at least two Residents.
Groups got a moderatable groupchat, at least two (and up to ten) roles with different abilities and are able to own land and items. Members in special roles can send notices to all groupmembers and can create proposals where others are able to vote. Any Resident can be a member of up to 25 different groups.
Group Basics
You can distinguish two types of groups which are
- Open group (might have an enrollment fee)
- Closed group
You can easily join open groups by searching them[KB] and pressing the Join (L$X) button[1] in the groups info tab. In case there is no Join (L$X) button at the info tab of the group you're looking for, the group is either a closed one and you can only join when you got an invitation, or you are already a member of the group.
Leave a group[KB]To leave a group as follows:
- Select Edit > Groups from the menus at the top of the Second Life window.
- Click on the name of the group you wish to leave.
- Click Leave.
- Confirm that you'd like to leave the group by clicking OK.
