Members of ArcGIS Online Group Can't See Content if Added Automatically

Question

I've recently added members to a group using the automatic (no invitation) option but the new members can't see everything that existing group members see. I have to remove the new members from the group and use the invitation option for them to see all of the group's content. Does anyone know why the automatic addition differs from invitation now? Thank you.

Thank you for testing that, Gregory!

I'm not sure what happened with your original group, but I would recommend creating a new group and going from there. Alternatively, we can take a look at the group on our end if necessary, but the quickest resolution for you will be to make a new one. Feel free to call us for a support case if you'd like us to dig into this a little further! Be sure to mention the GeoNet URL as well.

Thank you!

Best regards,

Rachel

I created a new group with the same settings and added members automatically. Everyone could see all of the group's content so I'm not able to reproduce the scenario in which they couldn't.

Rachel,

Thank you for your reply. This has happened in two groups; one that's a few years old (Forest Pest) and a newer group created in February (GDS Branch Story Map).
