Groups on Signal

ECO are the custodian of various groups on Signal - mostly related to the CEPT portal groups.

When a chat group associated with a CEPT portal group is created, we will upload the access QR code on the CEPT portal in the relevant group. 

The QR connection code will only be visible for group members under the tab "Group Info",  please be mindful NOT to share these groups with outsiders. Signal groups are not publicly searchable in the Signal system. 

A Signal chat group can be locked for admission pending approval, this means that you can connect to the group, but an administrator of the group needs to approve entry.

If you are a Chair or Vicechair role on the CEPT group for which there's a chat group,you can become admin on the Signal chat group. You are then also in charge of maintaining the member list in the group together with ECO.

Membership access

If the CEPT group is small (< 50 members), it will be necessary to approve all members applying for access to the Signal chat when the chat group is created.

For larger groups ( > 50 members) - the Signal group will have a period of open entry, hereafter the chat group will be closed as described above and require admin approval of access.
