Facebook Groups – How to Re-Join a Secret Group on Facebook

facebookfacebook-groups

I created a secret group in Facebook where all of my friends can talk and chat about anything. If someone leaves the group and wants to join the group, what can they do?

I am the admin of that group, but when I try to add the user back, it prompts with the error:

You have no authority to add that person

I also have tried making the group open and asking him to search and join back in. But it also fails.

Since it is a secret group, nobody can search for it. He can neither join again nor admin (myself) can add him.

How do I solve this?

My friend left my group. How can I send a second invitation?
Unfortunately, you will not be able to send a second group invitation to the same friend. The person will have to request to join the group again.

That's from Facebook Help, so my best suggestion is to make it open (or even closed, since one can ask to join a closed group) and let this take effect before your friend starts searching it. I could be wrong, but my guess is he could not find/join it because of the fact that the change is not instant.
