Google group roles

You can grant group members one of the following premade roles:

  • Owner – has complete control over the group and can even remove other owners or delete it.
  • Manager – can do anything an owner can, except delete the group, change an owner’s role, or make another member an owner.
  • Members – regular users of the group who can’t change any settings, add or remove members, etc. Their permissions for specific group actions are flexible and can be adjusted by managers or owners.
