Membership management, for example adding, importing, or removing members.

Join a community by clicking Join this Community (publicopen communities) or Request to Join this Community (moderated communities).
Community owners of restricted communities might allow you to see the community's name, description, tags, and owners so that you can request to join it. You can see community details of these communities in the Discover tab of the Communities app.
