Creating a secure groupin GLYPH.

Watch the walkthrough

Quick steps

1. In the group banner, click the down chevron, then New Group.
2. Enter a name and a short description then click Next.
3. Choose a visibility:
   • Open — available to all workspace members except guests.
   • Private — controlled by owners, managers, and admins; every member must be explicitly invited.
4. Choose a posting behavior:
   • Normal — everyone can participate and send content.
   • Broadcast — one-to-many. Owners, managers, and admins post to all members; standard members can't reply. Ideal for announcements and alerts.
   • Submission — many-to-one. Anyone can post, but only managers and owners can see the messages. Ideal for security reporting.
5. Set Preserve Chat History — leave it disabled (recommended) for ultra-secure collaboration. Enable it only if you need new members or devices to download prior messages.
6. Choose a Crypto Scheme — CRYSTALS is recommended for new groups.
7. Click Create to finish.

Posting behavior is permanent and cannot be changed after the group is created — pick it deliberately. For the full reasoning behind each setting, see Group Settings and Posting Behaviors.
