Some groups do not even permit entry by non-members. You can join a group by filling out an application to join or by responding to an invitation. Membership applications are either reviewed by the group manager for acceptance or are accepted automatically, depending on the group settings. As part of the membership process, you must agree to abide by the terms of the Code of Conduct. Depending on the group settings chosen by the manager, group members can: Chat with other members.

You can change your nickname at any time.) , a Member Information page appears which can include such information as your role in the group, your real name, a photo, and your e-mail address.  How are the Member Tools used? Member Tools provide information about the group and its members. People can also use Member Tools to change information about themselves.  What is the Group Report? The Group Report informs members about recent changes in the group (new members, new messages, new photos, new or updated lists, and so on). On the E-mail Settings page, you can choose to receive the report daily, weekly, or not at all. Note You can join up to 100 groups for each Microsoft Passport Network account you have.
