What is it?
Google Groups makes it easy for groups of people—such as project teams, departments, or classmates—to communicate and collaborate. Previously handled by OIT in our alias management tool, managers of a group can now update group memberships, share documents to a group, and even invite an entire group to a calendar event using Google Groups.
Who can use it?
Are you sharing documents?
Do you use a shared calendar?
Google Groups is all about helping users connect with people, access information, and communicate effectively over email and on the web. With members of your team all in the same group, Google Groups makes it easy for sharing things like Google Calendars and Docs with one another.
Users are assigned roles that determine what they can do within a group. Participants subscribe to groups and participate in group discussions, and group managers create new groups and manage group members and roles, discussions, and other settings.
