Group Topic Options
This setting controls how much flexibility group organizers have over the topics available in their groups. Select the option that best fits how you want topics to be managed across your community:
- Allow group organizers to use topics from only activity topics: Group organizers can only assign topics that were created in the main Activity Topics settings.
- Allow group organizers to create own topics: Group organizers can create custom topics specific to their individual groups.
- Allow both: Group organizers can use both the global Activity Topics and create their own group-specific topics.
