The ability to allow users to request membership from within Elentra is an optional feature and can be turned on and off with the database setting community_send_membership_email_admins. If a school wants to direct all community membership requests to one email address, they can store that email **
Users can optionally join communities they are not already a part of.
From the main navigation bar, click Communities.
Search for a community as needed or browse communities based on their category.
Click on the name of the community.
Depending on the community settings you may be prompted to register or join the community.
If a community is private and does not allow registrations, you may be shown a list of community administrators to contact or you may be prompted to request membership.
If you are prompted to request membership, click Request Membership, enter the reason for your request, and click Send Request. An email request will generate to a community administrator (you will also receive a copy).
You will get a success message and can click Close.
