How do I use Group Chat controls to best limit unauthorized use?

Specifically, I have a Club with a VIP Group, and I want Club staff only to be able to initiate Group IM, solely for the purpose of annoucing our events.

What does it mean when someone does or doesn't have the "Join Group Chat" ability? Does that ability control who may start a session? Or, does that ability control who may get a Group IM?

In other words, if an Officer has "Join Group Chat," and an Everyone does not have "Join Group Chat," will Everyone get the IM if the Officer starts a Group Chat?

I read the help files, but I am confused.

I'm bumping my question since I didn't get an answer and haven't found one.
