Understanding group operations

Operations are set tasks that can be automatically performed on group members at different stages. Operations can be applied at the following stages:

• Joining - When a user is added to a group
• Leaving - When a user is removed from a group
• Instantaneous - An ad-hoc operation

2. Choose from the following options:
   1. To add a joining operation, click Create new operation in the Joining Operations section.
