Community members vs friend list functionality

Hi, I work as a youth coach and we've started using board game arena as a way to play board games with our youths now that social distancing has put limitations on our activities at the youth center (also as an opportunity to extend our social media presence and the presence of professional adults and youth coaches online).

What I'm wondering is if there is a way for me to use the community member list (as we've created groups for our different youth centers) as a source when I invite people to games instead of my having to add all our visitors as friends?

I'm quite new on the platform so I'm sorry if there's already some simple way to do something similar that I've missed.

Thanks in advance, Patrick "Farsot" H.

When you create a game, there is a button for restricting access to the game. There you can choose to restrict it to your friends or to a specific group. This wont send them an invite, but you can send them all the link to the game once it's restricted, and you will only get your group members joining.
