Abstract
An apparatus, program product and method utilize hidden group membership to facilitate the processing of originator requests to a group in a clustered computer system. With hidden group membership, a requesting originator is temporarily joined to a group in such a manner that the originator is both hidden and provided with limited access rights, e.g., so that some of the messages sent by the members of a group when processing the request are neither sent to nor received by the originator.
