Groups are the heart of MakeHarmony. A group is a shared space for a choir, ensemble, band, or any music community where members can communicate, share playlists, and stay organised.
What is a group?
A group brings together a set of members under one shared space. Inside a group you will find:
- Feed – a social timeline where members and administrators can post updates, share news, and interact with each other through likes and replies.
- Playlists – shared music playlists that the group's administrators can create and curate.
- Members – a directory of everyone in the group, with role-based access control.
- About – the group profile including name, description, contact email, and location.
- Subscription (administrators only) – manage the group's subscription plan and features.
- Settings (administrators only) – advanced controls such as feed permissions and group visibility.
Roles
Every member of a group has one of the following roles:
| Role | Description |
|---|---|
| Administrator | Has full control over the group — can manage members, approve join requests, edit group details, create playlists, configure settings, and delete the group. A group must always have at least one Administrator. |
| Choirmaster | A specialised role for conductors or music leaders. Has elevated rights within the group's music content. |
| Member | A regular member. Can view the feed, playlists, and the member list, and can post to the feed (if enabled by administrators). |
A group must always have at least one Administrator. An Administrator cannot leave the group or be removed if they are the only one — another member must be promoted to Administrator first.
Switching between groups
If you belong to more than one group, you can switch the active group at any time.
Mobile: Tap the group name or the switcher icon at the top of the Groups screen to open the group switcher drawer. Select the group you want to view.
Web: Use the group selector in the top navigation or sidebar to switch between your groups.
Pending membership
After you join a group using an invitation link or code, your membership may initially be in a pending state. This means an administrator needs to approve your request before you gain full access to the group's content.
You will be notified once your membership is approved.
