What are the different roles I can have in a Yammer group?
In a Yammer group, there are several distinct roles that users can occupy, each with its own set of permissions and responsibilities. The primary roles are the group owner, the group administrator, and group members.
The group owner has the highest level of authority within the group. This individual is responsible for the creation and management of the group, which includes setting the group's privacy settings, adding or removing members, and generally guiding the direction and engagement of the group's discussions. Group owners have the ability to moderate conversations and ensure that interactions align with the group's purpose.
Group administrators, while similar to owners, typically have a more focused role. They assist the owner in managing group activities and can also help with moderation. Administrators might have specific authority over certain aspects of the group, depending on how the owner has designated their responsibilities.
Group members are users who participate in the group. They can contribute to discussions, post content, and engage with other members. Their ability to carry out these activities usually depends on the group settings established by the owner and administrators.
It is important for participants to understand their role within the group to ensure effective collaboration. For more specific details, users can look for information directly on the Yammer web page.
