Groups on Signal

ECO are the custodian of PT and WG groups on Signal.

When a chat group associated with a CEPT portal group is created, we will upload the signal 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 access. When you have applied for access please contact Chair of the group, ECO expert or ECO Helpdesk. The system do not alert admin of new applicants , therefore we may miss that you have applied.

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. Please read here how to.

 

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.

Existing groups

If you are managing an existing group in signal that you want to be posted, please contact helpdesk@eco.cept.org

General rules:

  • ECO must be made co-admin of the group 
  • The group must be available to all members of the group that we publish the connection details.
