# Inviting members to join a group

Depending on privileges defined by an administrator or group managers, the ability to invite new members to join a group is available to either all of a group's members (except guest users) or only to group managers.

# Why invite members to join an open group?

Even though an open group is, by definition, open to all of an organization's members, inviting a user to become a member of a group ensures that the group will appear in a user's left-hand navigation menu, and that your group's posts will appear in their news feed. This allows you to increase the visibility of your group.

# Inviting members to join a group

* Click on the **Users** button of the group
* Click on **+ Invite** and choose to invite existing users, new members or new guests
