I have a bunch of private categories, each of which is seen only by members of a specific group for that category. I’d like a way for them to sign themselves up to those groups. For example, when we run a conference, we want attendees of that event to receive access to a special category for that conference so they can exchange ideas privately. Is there a way to give members of this group a special link to sign up or add themselves to their group? Not all of these groups have a common email domain. I’d like to give them, [forum.com/signup/funevent/](http://forum.com/signup/funevent/) and then when they’re signed up, they’re automatically assigned to that group so they have access. Or is there another way to achieve this? Thanks. ---

Thanks Mike! Think this is doable via the API? I scanned it but didn’t see a way to add a user to a group or vice versa. ---

Yes it’s possible. 1. `/admin/groups.json` will tell you the `[group_id]` of every group 2. To add a member to a group `curl -X PUT -d usernames=username -d api_key=ApiKeyGoesHere -d api_username=ApiUsernameGoesHere https://yoursite.tld/admin/groups/[group_id]/members.json?` 3. To delete a member from a group `curl -X DELETE -d username=username -d api_key=ApiKeyGoesHere -d api_username=ApiUsernameGoesHere https://yoursite.tld/admin/groups/[group_id]/members.json?` Note that the PUT command accepts a comma separated list, but DELETE is one username at a time ---

Is there a way to put the user in a group during the SSO process? Any params? ---

I do think the group page should offer a way to join the group if allowed. It seems like something that should logically be present on that page. ---

Joining a group via the group page is possible as of Discourse 1.7. ---
