Hi Krzysztof,

Is it possible for the non-privileged users to request membership in an
existing group they are "not" members of (e.g. through their unity home
page)? and subsequently notify and let the admins of the requested
group(s) to approve/disapprove the membership.

I think we have discussed about this in the past and not really sure
whether the feature has already been included in the latest stable
release and how to enable it, if provided.

Yes, you can create a non-mandatory enquiry form allowing to request any group membership. So far there is no support for activating this on the HomeUI (we can work on it of course), but enquiry gets its own URL, so you can give it to your users.

I think enquiry form is a good fit for the purpose (atleast for the time being), but can a link to the form be shown to our users under home UI (like other attribute value pairs) in a neat way? I know this can be achieved by creating a special attribute for every user having the link as a value and then display it under the home UI (not very elegant though).

Thanks,
Shiraz


HTH,
Krzysztof
