Hello,

Currently we have several smart groups configured for our organization (these are interest groups like Environmental Action Group, Millennial Group, Women's Advocacy Group etc.)

On the front-end, we enable our members to log in and sign themselves up to any of the interest groups. We had done this by setting the visibility of these smart groups to 'Public Pages'.

The issue came up when we decided to assign these groups to a parent group (called 'Special Interest Groups') to reduce the clutter on the back-end and clearly classify these as separate from admin groups. When the Parent Group visibility is set to 'User and User-Admin only', none of the children groups are displaying on the front-end (even though the children groups are set to 'Public Pages). This is not ideal, since we do not want the parent group to display to our members (there is no value in displaying the parent group, and it only creates confusion), yet we want all the children groups to be displayed.

Any suggestions on how we can accomplish this?

Let me know if the scenario I described above was not clear, and I can post screenshots.

Thank you!
