You can control groups from the comfort of the console using the set of group commands. Each group command uses the '&' (and) prefix. If you prefer, you can also do this from the web, see Creating Groups.
This will tell you whether you have joined the group and list a few of its properties.
&[group]?
Leave a group
&[group] leave
Join a group
&[group] join
These commands will only work if you have required privileges for a group.
To add (invite) someone to a group
&[group] add [list of users separated by a space]
To remove (kick) people from a group
&[group] remove [list of users separated by a space]
For both of these commands you will receive a status report if things didn't work, for example:
>&newGroup add bob john sam
Reply: 1 added. Not found: john Error: sam
This means that of the three people that you attempted to add to the group 'newGroup', only bob was added successfully. 'John' did not match a name of a rhub user and there was some kind of error adding 'sam' to the group.
Note that the new group name must not contain any spaces or other punctuation. The short name and title of the group will initially be the same, and the group will be secret. You will be a member (indeed, the owner) of the new group.
&[new group name] create
Join a group named 'pals'
&pals join
Create a group named 'rh'
&rh create
Add Thom, Jonny, Phil, Barry and Colin to the new 'rh' group
&rh add thom jonny phil barry colin
Remove Barry from the group
&rh remove barry
