Who can join Community Groups?
I am a NEW Ward Temple and Family History Leader. I joined some of the Community groups, such as this one (All Temple & Family History Consusltants). I thought that these groups were just for Ward and Stake Temple and Family History workers, and that we are supposed to use them to help ward members questions, but I am starting to see that maybe the groups (such as German Genealogy Research group) are for ANYONE, incuding: TFH consultant, regular members, or anyone on FamilySearch. Is that correct? Can anyone on FamilySearch join in groups that they apply to them?

@Joe Bardsley - Welcome! A year and a half ago I was unaware of the groups myself. I first became aware of the "New Temple and Family History Consultants" group after my initial training for my stake calling and also being what was then called a Family History Center Director (now Leader). After my first year there, I found this group, but also learned of the many others. Most are not restricted groups according to listed callings. So yes! Do encourage all FamilySearch users to explore the communities. They'll find few that require special criteria to join, particularly among the ones that would be of interest to anyone (geographical or ethnic topics, specific areas of genealogy/family history focus, etc). The handful of groups restricted to people with specific temple and family history callings is limited to those people simply to maintain focus on the kinds of topics that need to be discussed here for the purpose of expanding and enhancing temple and family history Gathering among members and even non-Latter-day Saint users of FamilySearch.

@Joe Bardsley As has been mentioned, some groups are public and some are private. Seeing as you are new, I might also recommend you join the group for @New Ward Temple and FH Consultants which will enable you to connect with others in a similar position as you. But yes, so many other groups are such a great help to those who don't have a specific calling. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE invite your ward family and others to join us here in the Community! There is so much for everyone to benefit from!
