Default Group Visibility Should Not Be Public

policy name: default_group_visibility_is_public

severity: HIGH

Description

Your server is configured by default that every new group is created public. This means that it will be accessible by any member and unauthenticated user. It is recommended to turn the default option to be private and let admins control public visibility explicitly when needed.

Remediation

1. Press Settings -> General
2. Expand ‘Visibility and access controls’ section
3. Under ‘Default group visibility’ toggle ‘Private’
4. Press ‘Save Changes’
