Step by Step:
1. If you would like to start a Titan Hub Group, you must first have one created for you.
Fill out this form to have one created.
2. Once your group is created by the MyCourses Support Team within Titan Hub, you should be able to locate it by going to Groups on the left-side menu. If you have been added as an administrator you will find your group there. This guide reviews your options and settings as a Titan Hub Group admin.
Always remember to click the blue save button at the very bottom of the settings page when making updates to a group or your changes will not be applied.
Are you enrolling group members on their behalf? You need to notify them upon Enrollment. The easiest way is to enable welcome messages upon enrollment.
Add Additional Admins
We recommend you have a backup group admin to monitor your group’s progress. Depending on the settings selected, members may be able to post freely to the page without approval. To ensure there aren’t inappropriate postings, your admins should review the group page frequently.
- Once you are on the group page after locating it in the Groups area of the left-side menu, click the settings button at the top right:
- Then select Group Admins
- In the Add Admin box, search for the name of the faculty/staff member, and once they appear press enter
- Click Save

Resources (Attachments)
Click Resources (paper clip icon) under the group banner to manage the attached files for this group. Depending on the type of group you can limit who can add, edit, delete, or arrange attachments within the advanced settings of this group. As the admin, you can upload attachments at any time. You can choose from a document in your computer, a link, or a file:
Analytics
This tab allows you to see and track engagement with the group. These metrics include the number of new members, posts, comments, and likes. You can limit by a date range to track over time.
Advanced Settings (User Permissions and More)
From the group page, click the settings gear at the top right once more. Within the settings options, you will see Advanced Options
Within the Advance settings, there are several options that you can select and change as a group admin.
- Features: Toggle each of these on or off for that feature to display to members on the navbar of the group. For example, if your group will never have to have any files attached to it, toggle Files Enabled to off.
-
Default Tab: Choose which tab displays to members when they first visit the group.
-
Custom Call to Action Button: A button that can be added to the group banner that will link out to another website (i.e. Advisors can use this button to have students schedule appointments)
-
Reported Posts: This allows the admin to set the threshold for how many times a post must be reported as inappropriate for it to be automatically removed (you can also remove posts at any time).
-
Permissions: These settings control who can access and manage elements of this group. There are four types of users in Titan Hub group settings.
Everyone: All users in the Titan Hub including all students, faculty, and staff
Invited: Users in Titan Hub who have been sent an invitation to join a group
Members: Users who have joined a group
Admins: Users who are designated as group administrators
Depending on the level of control or type of group, you can adjust these at any time. Note: The last setting - who can manage resources - refers to who can add, edit, or delete attachments for this group.
