When I set a group to accept join requests, I’m finding it’s listed as “closed” on the /groups page. Anyone else seeing this?

It looks like the text for the checkbox has changed. It currently states
> Allow users to send membership requests to group owners.
The text for something like the following was removed
> Requires everyone to be able to mention/message the group
But it appears that is still a requirement.
I would love to remove the requirement since
- owners (last 5 active) now get notifications of requests
- default notification for groups is Watching

Is this a bug @tgxworld? It is causing support problems for us so this needs to be addressed.

Than you, Jeff. I need to invite 600+ partners to a “Partner” group. Because we are using SSO, I can’t utilize the bulk invite feature, so this is presently my only option to get them onboarded ☹

I thought I removed the alias level restriction but it doesn’t seem like it. Fixed in
