Groups are special groups for Robloxians to join. These groups help keep track of your buddies, so you know when to join them for a big battle or to help out building a new place. With a group wall, group shouts and a group building place the Groups system really helps to keep your group of friends together!
The main Groups page
There's a lot on this page, but it's not too hard to rummage around.
Top 'o the Page
At the top of the Groups page you can see the Search Bar, useful for finding a group you might have heard about.
Right under that is a box with the different groups that you are in. If you're new you probably haven't joined a group yet, and this box will be empty. There are a bunch of different groups to jump into, just keep an eye out for one that sounds cool! If you have joined a group they will show up in this box. Click on one of 'em to see the information about that group.
From now on I'll assume that you've found a group and joined them. For the pictures here I used the Twitter group, but they're the same on all groups.
In the middle of the page is the Description of the group, giving you details about what the group does and what kind of members they're looking for. Good information here! | |
On the way left you can see your Rank in the group. Ranks can be custom named, so you can expect anything from NOOBZOR to AWESUM DUED. Under that is an advertisement. | |
Over on the right side you can see the big Create Group button. This brings you to the Group Creation page, which you can read about over here. | |
Under that box you can see the long Group Members box. This displays the number of members, a list of them and which rank they fall into. Click on the rank you want to see the people in that rank. | |

Right in the middle of the page you can see the Group Building Place. These places allow you and your friends to hop in a place and build your own place. It's really fun to have a bunch of people building together, see what you can accomplish. |
Under all the other boxes you can see the Group Wall. This is a nice long thread, kind of like Comments, where you can post what you want to say. A little blurb is fine. You can also, if you have permissions, use the Group Shout. This lets you make an announcement on every member's Feed with whatever you want to say. | |
The buttons under the Member list let you leave the group, which you can re-join later. If you have permissions, you can also go to the Group Administration page, where you can change settings for your group. |
Permissions
Permissions are the ability to do some advanced things on the Group that you are a part of. For example, if you are the Owner of a group you can change the picture or the description, as well as set member permissions or boot people from the group.
Lets go through the list right here
Ranks
Ranks give you an idea of where you stand in the group. New users are normally really low in the numbers and don't have many permissions. Old users and the owners of the group are really high on the numbers and have a lot of permissions. With time and proving that you're a good person you can move up in rank. Some groups have very few ranks, while others have a lot of them. Rank numbers go from 0 to 255.
Guests
Guests are a rank that isn't shown on the normal member list and can't be removed from the Admin panel. This group represents anyone vising the Group page who is not a part of the group. You can change settings for these random people the same way as a group member.
Owner
The Owner is the person who owns the group. They are always the highest possible rank, there are no ranks above them. The Owner always has all of the permissions, and can do anything they want to the group. Be careful who owns the Group, they have all the power.
