Why am I a member of a group I didn't join?

Teachers are automatically added to major school groups at the beginning of the year and so may already be a member of a few groups when first logging in to Te Rito. This is different to being invited to a group, where the user has to respond to the request to become a member. Students can also be automatically added to groups.

Individuals automatically enrolled in groups will only be unsubscribed if they no longer meet the criteria for the automated membership. If they click the Unsubscribe button from within a group, the group will temporarily be removed from their My Groups panel. However, the group will be added to their My Groups panel again the next day.
