Private Groups - Functioning? - not for me so far.
I have several private groups that I setup for diff. purposes.
For testing I setup: https://musescore.com/groups/ppt
is one that I wanted to verify, before I made it public.
1)-ISSUE: As far as the feedback I have gotten on forum, "I never can" make it public. The group is locked "private" with no options available.
2)-Secondly, I wanted to test the ability to "invite" to this private folder, and view the end user experience.
So I sent an email invite to my Mother. She responded to the email, and was prompted to setup a musescore account, including all the email login confirmations. She did so. She accepted cookies and remained logged-in.
She found no link to this site in emails or in her new profile. https://musescore.com/groups/ppt
The hyperlinks in her email all lead to her new profile page.
She saw my name there, and was led to my home-page ScottWarren @musescore.com.
There, my "public" group appeared under my picture/groups: ("ScottWarrenLessons").
But no private groups were ever displayed for access in the entire surf process.
From within this private group, I can see the invitation I had sent her. It says "pending".
So I tried sending her a new one, now that she was logged in with cookies. Same frustrating result. Nada!
If this were a client, I would have lost them!!!
Sincerely,
SW

PS, I suppose perhaps, that I could have asked her for her new username, and then repeated the process opting for a username invitation rather than email. But before I use a band-aid, I want to make sure there isn't something I'm overlooking.
Thanks!
Hi Scott,
You can't turn a private group into a public one, this to avoid that private discussion may end up public.
If your mother created a MuseScore account with the same email address you invited her with, she would have become a member of the group upon registration. Apparently she did not, correct? So basically, you will have to reinvite her, either by username, either with the email address she signed up with. We are aware this flow can be improved, and it will this year.
If you have other musescore.com related questions or remarks, don't hesitate to share in our dedicated group at https://musescore.com/groups/improving-musescore-com This forum is merely for notation software related questions.

Issue#1) Yes, this make sense, BUT there are always normally reverse options pr. Admin.
I am now interested in claiming.
The names I have now claimed , , , are therefore "trashed'.

Group names are not exclusive.
Groups can be removed which will release the vanity url.

What do you mean?
One side security/the other open.
If not exclusive, how does URL and security work?
I am interested ???

I understand the concern.
My solution:
Allow Admins to Delete the Group. (There is currently no option!!)
Then, the option to rebuild from scratch (in a hurry) using the name.
- As it is now, I believe I have trashed all of my business names on your site,
- by making them initially "private".
That Sucks!
(BTW, my born domain-name.com is currently bidding at $4k)

Hi Scott, you can remove a group when there are no members in the group. Simply click on Edit this group and scroll down.

Thanks!
"That" makes sense! Only, I do not see that option.
These are currently empty groups I'm referring to. So privacy affects no one but me.
I believe you mean "update this group" from within the group?
Then the page "Edit Group" appears. Here's what it says:
Edit Group ScottWarrenStudents

Your nice link:

This must be an external URL such as http://example.com.

Thank you Thomas!

Ok, since you didn't see the delete button, I assume this is a bug. While I'm checking this out, shall I remove the group for you already?

Well, (yes), but I want to re-claim it. So not yet.
So please investigate, and get back to me
so we can do this workaround simultaneously with several groups.
I would like to do this methodically.
Thanks so much Thomas!

Hi, I have a similar issue. Did you check this out meanwhile, and how is the procedure, for me as a group owner and admin, to remove remaining scores and delete my group of which I am the only member?

Better bring this up on musescore.com

She is old..
My clients are young, It doesn't matter, it works-or-doesn't.
Right now, it doesn't.
She did everything she was prompted to.
No workie!

I had read, that this was all-up-and-working. (Somewhere)
In reply to Hi Scott,… by Thomas
She did not become a member upon registration.
On my end the invite says "pending".
On her end, there were several active links in the invite email. One of which was the name of my private group. I would have expected that to send her directly to the group, (membership or not).
Meanwhile, since she DID register, it still did not bring her into the group.
She surfed the site, and all email links,

What is the intended protocol here for private groups then?
Does it ultimately require a provided member-username to invite?
Or can it be done directly from email, as is suggested by the options?
And can group member invitation be completed via email without requiring invitees musescore registration?
Thanks
