Edit an Internal Group

Groups are used to organize members into their appropriate messaging groups. Administrators can create as many groups as needed and can categorize groups based on any number of unique criteria. Internal groups are only available for communication within CivicReady (now our Mass Notification system), and users are assigned to them by an administrator. This article will show you how to edit an internal group.

Important Note

• Users should not be added to parent groups.
