Overview
After creating a Native Google Group, you'll have to add new members. You can change the roles of these new members, so that they could also adjust the group membership and the roles of the other members.
Instructions
Step 1
Log in to Gmail.com. Be sure you're logging into the account that owns your Google Group.
Step 2
Go to the Google Groups app. Click More to find the Google Groups app, if necessary.
Step 3
Click My Groups.
Step 4
Find and click the group you'd like to edit.
Step 5
Click Manage members.
Additional settings
Adjust the following settings after getting to your Native Google Group's Manage members page. All the adjustments below are recommended.
Step 1
Click Permissions >> Basic permissions.
Step 2
Check Allow new users not in {uwf.edu OR students.uwf.edu}. Click Save.
Step 3
Click Settings >> Identity.
Step 4
Click Either display name or Google profile. Click Save.
Step 1
Click Members >> Invite members.
Step 2
Enter the email addresses of the members you'd like in this group, write an invitation message, and click Send Invites.
You won't be able to add email addresses outside of your 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.
