Description
When a user is creating a new group, under "Membership requests" there is the option to choose whether the group is open, moderated, invite-only, or closed.
Is there a way to disable this choice for users? For example, if I am creating an open-community website, I would want every new group created to be open. Or at least, low-level roles would never see this option and the group would be open by default.
#1
you can achieve this using hook_form_alter on the node form and change the radio field to a value field with you wanted default value.

I really need this, cause the approval method for a requester user is too confusing....
how can I use hook_form_alter?

Use of hook_form_alter is done through the creation of your own "helper module" if I may use that terminology. Your module will be only waiting for a specific situation to occur. For instance, your module can waiting for a form do display in node/add or node/edit mode and than you can set some default values and maybe even turn the value into a hidden form value or disable the field after setting the desired default value.
