UWF uses two domains for its Gmail addresses:
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.
