Groups are organizations you can join and belong to in Second Life®. Belonging to a group doesn't inherently improve Second Life, but group members can take part in certain special privileges:

  • Group members and officers get special titles. When you have a group active, your title appears in front of your name. e.g. Cookie Lover Jack Foo. You can change to the title of any of your groups (or no group) at any time through Edit > Groups. See How do I change the title in front of my name?
  • You can give certain special permissions to group members only. A group member might restrict their land access to group members only, or script an object that has special functions only group members can activate.
  • Groups have a joint balance. Any Linden Dollars paid to the group are paid out evenly to all group members each day.
  • Groups can jointly own land, with each member making a contribution to help pay for the land's cost. See How does group-owned land work?
  • Other Residents can see what groups you're in on your profile.
  • You may also hide particular groups from beeing listet in your profile for other Residents. To do so, operate as follows:
    1. Go to Edit > Groups
    2. Highlight the group you'd like to hide, by clicking on it.
    3. Click the Info button.
    4. Uncheck the List group in my Profile checkbox, located at the bottom of the General tab.
    5. Click Apply.
