The member who invited the directory service will be the owner of the group record in the directory service.The directory service needs to be admin to provide a good user experience of joining the group, as it will create a new link to join the group, which is expected to be online 99% of the time.
Add the link sent to you by the directory service to the group welcome message. This has to be done by the same group member who invited the directory service to the group. This member will be the owner of the group record in the directory service.
-Once the link is added, the group will need to be approved by the directory service admins. This link is functional even before the group is approved, and you can continue using this link even if the group is not approved.
-The group is usually approved within 24 hours. Please see below which groups can be added.
-Once the group is approved, it will appear in search results.
+Once the group is approved, it will appear in search results together with the link to join it. We recommend adding this link to the group welcome message - adding or removing it does not require a new approval.

To remove the group from the directory:
-To remove the group from the directory, send /delete <ID>:<name> to the directory service, with the ID and name shown by /list. You can also remove the directory service from the group - the group will be permanently removed from the search results.

The reason to restrict the acceptable content is to have a better experience for a wider range of the users, and to comply with the content policies of app distribution channels (App Store, Play Store, etc.), once the directory service is available via the app without additional configuration. To achieve that, the content in the listed groups should be restricted to be generally appropriate.
