Deny Membership
Modify this email template or use the default text to notify a member that his/her group membership application has been denied. The default text is maintained using the Edit Email Templates page. Note: You must have group Chair privileges for a group to deny its membership applications.
To deny membership in a group:
- From All Groups, click the name of the group containing the pending membership request you want to deny. This takes you to the home page for that group.
- Above the Group Notes heading, click pending request(s). This takes you to the Pending Requests page for that group, which contains a list of organization members applying for membership to the group.
- Find the requester whose group membership application you want to deny.
- Click Deny. This takes you to the Deny Membership page.
- For Recipient, verify this is the member whose group membership you want to deny.
- For Subject, this is the subject line as it will appear on the email. Use the default text or modify it by entering text (no HTML allowed).
- For Content, this is the body text of the email. Use the default text or modify it by entering text.
Note: No HTML is allowed. If you want HTML to appear in the body of the email, you must contact the Group Admin.
- When you finish, click Submit Denial to send the email or Cancel to return to the Pending Requests page without denying the selected member's group membership application.
Note: Required fields are designated by an asterisk (*). If you click Submit Denial and a required field is left blank, an error message appears in red above the blank field heading. Enter the required information and click Submit Denial again.
- If you click Submit Denial, the member is sent the denial email and you return to the Pending Requests page. Continue approving and/or denying membership requests. To go to another group, use the Breadcrumbs at the top of the page or the Back button on your browser.
