titleConfiguring a Google Group for multiple domains/organizations

titleInviting members

Step 1

Step 2

Enter the email addresses of the members you'd like in this group, write an invitation message, and click Send Invites.


Warning
titleNative Google Groups are defaulted so that users are unable to add email addresses outside of their domain/organization

UWF uses two domains for its Gmail addresses:

  • @uwf.edu (for faculty, staff, and departmental email accounts)
  • @students.uwf.edu (for student accounts)

The email address that created the Google Group determines which domain/organization that Google Group belongs to, and domain/organization cannot change for the Google Group. (for example, if you log into a departmental account and create a Google Group, that Google Group will belong to the @uwf.edu domain/organization. This cannot be changed.)

If you believe your Google Group will have people from multiple domains/organizations, then your Google Group will have to be reconfigured. See the Configuring a Google Group for multiple domains/organizations above.


Step 3

Click Outstanding invites to view your outstanding invites.

Step 4

If necessary, select the outstanding invites and either resend the invitation or revoke the invitation.
