What Are Participant Tags  

Group Participant Tags allow adding a short label to describe your role or identity within a group. This helps members understand who is who, especially in large or purpose-driven groups like communities, events, or school groups. Group admins can control this action for all participants - Manage Participant Tags in Groups.
