Group members are generally members or volunteers in your organization who will be soliciting donations or entering contacts into the system.

Group members create their own accounts in Silent Auction Pro and then request to join a group by the group number. The system will send an email to all Group Administrators alerting them of the new membership request. For a sample email and step-by-step instructions on how to invite others to join your group, please see the last section of the Getting Started with Silent Auction Pro help page.
