Remove Yourself from a Group Room
 
Overview
A group room is a unique URL (or web page) where you — and your friends and family — can add and view photos and projects. You can also order prints or read and write messages. Any member of a group room can add photos, messages or projects to the room, and any member can view them. However, only the creator of the group can remove albums, projects and messages.

Note: Currently, Photo Books are the only projects that can be added to group rooms.

You can become a part of a group room in two ways:

  • Create a group room and invite others to join you.
  • Receive and accept an invitation to join a group room created by someone else.

In the first case, you are the group creator and have the ability to manage the settings for the group. In the second, you are a group member and can manage your personal settings.

Group Room Privacy
You can protect the privacy of your group room with the use of a password, called a room code. When you create a group room, you'll be given the opportunity to create a password. Only users who know the password will be able to access your group room. Learn more about creating a group room below.

If you do not use a password to protect your group room, anyone who knows the URL (or web address) of your group room will be able to access it.
