# User group sharing links
Create a link to share with users or embed in a store which will add existing users to a group when clicked. Or register let new users straight into the group
Create sharing links to a group which can be given to new or existing users and add them directly into a group. On any group page use the sub menu to select **Sharing**
From the sharing settings page enable sharing. Select public if you want non-registered users to sign up to your portal using the link generated (Note, if your portals registration is open, all links will be public by default)
Select a welcome message users will see once they follow the link and an optional passcode you may want your users to input in order to complete the join
Welcome message from following an invite link asking for a passcode
Logged in users will be prompted to join the group to confirm. And logged out users will be asked to sign in or create a new account, make sure you include this in any instructions you send out!
#### Use cases
* **📚 Embed user groups links in buttons on an external shop / library**
When users follow the links, they get added to the group and access to any content in that group
* **👨💻 Give access after a seminar / presentation**
If you want to give users access to content after some online or in person training, provide them with a link to access content on Synap, the links are short and can be easily typed out by users.
* **🙋♀️ Email users links to let them self enroll**
Launching a new product, or looking for a beta testing group, include the user group invite link in an email or newsletter, so you're only adding users who actually want to participate to the group.

# Agent Instructions

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://academy.synap.ac/doc/users-and-groups/creating-groups/user-group-sharing-links.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
