Create a Group

Before you start

You need:

• A name for your Group
• A short description of what the Group is for
• An EnDAO account (see Create Your Account)

The form

Visit /create-org while signed in. The form has four fields:

• Name.

  The display name everyone in your Group will see. Pick something that reads naturally in copy like “A vote in [name] just opened.”

• Description.

  A short summary of what your Group is for. Visible to members and, for Public Groups, to anyone browsing the platform.

• Visibility.

  Public — anyone on the platform can find the Group and see its description. Private — the Group is hidden from people who aren't members. You can change this later.

• How members join.

  Open — anyone can join freely. Request — anyone can ask to join; admins approve each request. Invite only — admins must explicitly invite each new member. Set the rule that fits how your Group operates.

Submit the form. Your Group is created with sensible default governance settings — you become its first admin.

What happens next

Once the Group exists, configure the rest from Settings. Each area has its own guide:

• Group settings — voting period, quorum, approval thresholds, who can propose decisions.
• Treasury setup — deploy your shared treasury, add Approvers, and configure the approval threshold.
• Managing members — invite people, set roles, grant custom permissions.
• Managing decisions — create your first Decision and walk the Group through it.

What can't be changed later

Most settings can be adjusted any time. Two main exceptions members notice:

• The Group's treasury address.

  Once you deploy the treasury (a separate step after creation), its address is permanent. You can change Approvers and the approval threshold any time; you can't change the address itself.

• The Group's creation timestamp.

  The founding date is the record. Cosmetic detail, but worth knowing.

After your Group exists

Practical first steps:

1. Deploy your treasury so the Group can hold and move funds.
2. Invite your first members — three or four is enough to start testing the flow.
3. Tune the governance defaults — most Groups want to adjust quorum or approval percentages from the defaults.
4. Create your first Decision — even a small test one. The first vote is when the Group starts feeling real.
