Google Groups management: A quick introduction

Welcome to the Google Workspace groups management training for administrators!

What you will learn during the Google Groups management training

This beginner-friendly walkthrough guide will teach you how to handle anything related to Google Workspace groups management for your organization.

Learn the basics of Google Groups administration

Group management is essential to Google Workspace, and every administrator should know the basics.

This training will introduce you to Google Groups. You will then learn how to create a new email address as a group inbox, configure its initial settings, and handle other basic group management tasks.

Manage Google Group members

Managing members is essential for anyone dealing with groups.

You will see how to add group members one at a time, add multiple members at once, view, export, and work with the group members list.

You will also see how to change group members’ roles, posting permissions, and email delivery settings in the group.

Control account-wide group settings as a Google Workspace admin

Your Google Workspace admin settings include controls that apply to all groups in your domain.

We will guide you step by step to ensure they are appropriately configured.

Control group-specific settings

Last but not least, every group has settings that apply specifically to it.

Group settings allow you to specify who can do what in the group, what features are available to group members, and how the group works.

You can fine-tune your groups and get them to work precisely as you wish to fulfil specific needs.

For example, you may want to turn a group into a support forum where people can open a ticket by sending it to the group email address. You can do that by enabling specific group features.

Who should do this training

Maybe you are wondering if this training is right for you or if it’s worth doing. You absolutely should do it if:

  • You want to get started with Google Workspace cloud services.
  • You are totally new to Google Workspace.
  • You already are a Google Workspace administrator.
  • You want to access Google Workspace-related information (partners and support technicians)
  • You need to create and manage Google Groups in your Google Workspace account.

Requirements

For you to do this training, you should:

  • It’s best to have basic knowledge of some entry-level IT concepts but don’t worry if you don’t. We try to make everything as simple as possible and even avoid technical terms so that the content is accessible and easy to digest, even for beginners. 
  • You should have an active Google Workspace admin account to follow the steps as you go through the training. If you don’t, start from here.

How the email groups management training works

We help you do things step-by-step with images accompanying the instructions for each action you need to take. Say hi to easy-to-follow directions that you can follow at your own pace! You couldn’t get lost if you wanted to, even if you aren’t tech-savvy.

The training is flexible, and there is no fixed way to do it. It is up to you to use it as you see fit.

  • You can go through every article in this training one by one, like a course, and become a total Google Workspace groups master.
  • You can also skip anything that you don’t really need at this time and come back later.
  • You can revisit things you want to remember at any time.

How long the training takes to complete

  • How much time you need depends entirely on what you want from the training, but generally, it won’t take long to complete.
  • The content is super easy to go through, and you can choose to skip anything that is not beneficial for you at the moment.

How is this Google Workspace training better than other options out there?

This question should rather be, “How isn’t it better?”.

  • It is cheaper (completely free) and often more effective than hiring someone to help.
  • It is easier to follow and understand than Google’s Help Center, YouTube videos, or any other resource you can find.
  • It is easier, faster, and usually more effective than contacting Google Workspace support or any live person. You don’t need to wait in a queue, talk or chat with anyone, wait for them to reply, or deal with someone inexperienced.
  • On the other hand, we are there for you at any time, and it only takes seconds to find what you need and get things done.
