-
Configure the plugin (below)
-
Setup any projects that allow non-members to join
There are two things that need to be configured on the plugin before it can be used. The configuration panel is located at Administration > Plugins > Configure.
-
Roles: When a new member is added to a project, they will receive these Roles. At least one Role needs to be picked.
-
Email body text: When a Request To Join email is sent to the Project Members who have permission to Approve Project Join Requests. The email’s body includes details about the request as well as the body text entered here.
If the project allows joining, Non-members will see a link on the sidebar to Join. This will either add them to the project (self-subscribe) or send a Request to Join (request).
A My Page item is added which will list all of the pending Requests to Join. From the My Page, a user can see which requests they are allowed to Approve or Deny along with links to both actions.
