Groups are a great way to see new content inside of EveryoneSocial. You can join Groups based on interest or an Admin can automatically assign you to a Group when you create your account.

But what do you do if you find yourself in a Group that doesn’t interest you any more or is no longer relevant?

Should this become the case, you may decide to leave a Group. 

🔸 This is accessible to all roles and permission levels.
