About This Feature

Overview

Group Chat Management is a collaboration management feature in WPS Teams on macOS. It helps group owners and group admins maintain order, control what members can do, and review key group activity records from one management area.

Main tasks in this feature include:

Open the group management page from chat settings.
Add or remove group admins.
Configure member permissions for actions such as editing group info, adding members, starting meetings, and managing announcements.
Set speaking controls with all members allowed, all members muted, or selected members muted.
Turn on confidentiality mode to restrict copying, forwarding, downloading, screenshots, and screen recording.
Configure join approval rules for different types of users.
View sharing records and member join or leave records.
Adjust other group settings such as message history visibility, nickname display priority, and owner transfer.

This feature is useful for project groups, internal collaboration groups, cross-team discussions, and groups that need stronger information control.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Supports centralized group management for admins, member permissions, mute settings, confidentiality mode, join approval, sharing records, and join/leave records.	Teams provides owner, member, and guest roles, plus member and guest management and team permission controls.	Google Chat space owners or managers can control who joins a space, who manages members, whether users can request to join, and member permissions.	Notion teamspaces support owners, members, access settings, membership management, and teamspace-level permissions, with a stronger focus on workspace organization.	Acrobat mainly provides access control and review permissions for shared PDF files, which supports document collaboration rather than direct group chat management.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS combines admin management, speaking controls, confidentiality mode, join approval, and group activity records in one group management page for daily collaboration governance.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft Teams offers mature role and team permission controls, but its public guidance is more centered on team and channel management.	Compared with WPS: Google Chat provides clear space access and permission controls, with more emphasis on space settings and membership rules.	Compared with WPS: Notion is better aligned with teamspace and page permission management than real-time group chat governance.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on shared document access and review workflows rather than member speaking controls in a chat group.

Overall Conclusion: WPS Group Chat Management is well suited to everyday collaboration groups that need one place to manage permissions, speaking rules, and join approval. Microsoft Teams and Google Chat also provide strong role and access controls, while Notion and Adobe are more oriented toward workspace structure or document-sharing access.
