When you create a group, you can completely control its privacy. There are three different access levels:
Open: For Open groups, everyone on Facebook can view the group and join. The group will appear in search results and all content (e.g., photos, videos and discussions) is visible to anyone viewing the group.
Closed: For Closed groups, everyone on Facebook can see the name and members of the group, but only group members can view content in the group. Unless you're added to the group by another member, you'll need to ask to join when viewing the group. You'll become a member when your request is approved.
Secret: These groups cannot be found in searches, and non-members can’t see anything about the group, including its name and membership list. The name of the group will not display on the profiles (timelines) of members. To join a secret group, you need to be added by a member of the group.
