Quick and easy-to-follow guide for Google Workspace administrators

You can choose to only allow specific people to view others’ email addresses in a group’s user interface.

How to control who can see the email addresses of a group’s members step-by-step with images

Step 1

Go to Groups at https://groups.google.com and find the group in one of the directories listed on the left: My groups, Recent groups, All groups, or Favorite groups. Then click the three dots icon to the right and select Group settings.

Step 2

Next to Who can view member email addresses, select which types of users can manage members.

Selecting a user type also grants permissions to all user types on its left. For example, by selecting Entire organization, you also grant this permission to Group members, Group managers, and Group owners.

See how to create a custom group role and grant it this permission here.

Note that regardless of this setting, members can still see senders’ email addresses on emails delivered to their Gmail mailbox.

Step 3

Click Save changes at the bottom.
