The way I’ve figured out stuff on Schoology is testing it. So if I were you, if you don’t want to contact the wonderfully helpful support staff at Schoology, I’d create a test group and see if what you don’t want to happen in fact doesn’t happen. If it does, I’d look for another way to do what you’re looking for.

What I do know is that when you set up a group, you set it up the same way as a course – through an access code. So each member of the group would have to have that access code for that group. It would seem that if a student doesn’t have that access code, they wouldn’t be able to access who’s in that group. So the only people that could access that group are the group members who have signed up for that group with the access code.

Like I said, I’d try it to see how it works out.

I hope this was a little helpful.
