## Definitions

### `net.openmeet.group.declaration`

**Type**: `record`

Marks this account as a group and points at its about space. It carries nothing else. A group has one only while it is public; it is deleted when the group becomes private.

**Key**: `literal:self`

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `aboutSpace` | `string` (uri) | Yes | The group's about space, which holds its profile and rules: at://<group DID>/space/<space type>/<space key>. Reading it needs a credential. |
| `createdAt` | `string` (datetime) | Yes | When the group was created. Rewriting the declaration keeps this date. |
