Hi Greg,

I looked again at the code and it is simpler than I thought. That "Subscribe Members" tab is not tied to any particular group, so you can certainly use it with the "Shareholder" group.  The code basically lists all unsubscribed users that can view the current app, and it doesn't matter if they are registered or not. So here is what you should do for new users:
1) Go to the "Manage users & groups" page and add the email(s) to the Shareholder group;
2) Go to the "Manage subscribers / Subscribe Members" tab and subscribe the emails you added in step #1.

After clicking on the "Subscribe Members" button, those users should show up as "subscribed" on the first tab. I tried that with an unregistered account and it worked fine. Please note that step #1 is needed because the system must recognize that user as someone who can view the current app.

Another thought: Will addresses that could show under "Subscribe Members" disappear from that tab once they appear under "Current Subscribers", so there is no possibility attempting to subscribe a user who is already subscribed.

Yes, that's correct. If the user is subscribed, it will not be listed on the "Subscribe Members" tab.

Questions?
