# How to make settings for members of my Groups?

You can define individual settings for the group members for each of your groups.

## 1. Call up group

In the module ***Groups***, find your group and call it up.

## 2. Open settings for members

In the menu on the left-hand side, select ***Settings*** (1) ***Members*** (2).

## 4. Define leadership and participation roles

For each role that you assign the type ***ladder*** (2) or ***participant*** (3), you define the following settings individually here:

- Specify the visibility with which a person with this role is allowed to create posts.
- A person with this role may participate in the group chat as a reader and/or writer.
- If the check-in code is activated for your group, you can specify whether a person with this role should receive an email with a check-in code for a group meeting.
- People with this role should be included in the number of places.
- A person with this role in your group should be assigned a specific level of a growth path.
- Create a template for certificates that people with the selected role can download.
- For security reasons, people with this role in your group should use two-factor authentication.

## 5. add group member fields

Here you add ***information fields*** which are then displayed as additional columns in the member overview and filled in with the available data for each member. You can decide whether these fields should be requested in a registration form as mandatory information or not.
