Changing Site Membership Type

A site’s membership type determines how freely users may join your site. There are three types of site membership:

• Open: Users can join and leave whenever they want. The site is visible to all users in the My Sites app.

• Restricted: The site appears in the My Sites application, but users must request membership to join.

• Private: A site administrator must explicitly add users to the site. Private membership sites don’t appear in the My Sites app.
