Hello guys,
Welcome to my tutorial on Google apps. In this tutorial i will show you how you can add users in to the group directly without going in to the groups console or the groups module of that particular group. So i go into Groups. I go to that particular group and you can see there is a option here to add users to the group, here you can add any user that is present in your admin console. So this is a user and you have to choose member or owner role for the user. You can also set managers role for the user but that will be set in groups console or groups.google.com. And when you will go to this particular group setting, that i will show you in my upcoming tutorial. Here i am not adding this user but to let you know you can define email address of user and you can click on add to add the user. Then how you can change group info of a group. If you have mistakenly added a group name that is not required for you or i did a mistake here, i can correct it. I can change the group name here, and you can also change the group email provided you have not used this email anywhere in Google apps before. If you have not used, suppose i will choose into hr.dept@yourdomain.com which i have not used yet and i will save group info. You see the group email id is changed now. Similarly there is another option how you can delete the group, if i press on delete, it will ask for confirmation and if you click on yes delete the group, it will delete the. This is to let you know about the options which is very user friendly and You can browse yourself and check. But still i will go into each and every option i will try to cover in our tutorial. Lets see about access setting so this is the groups console that i was talking about. You go to groups.google.com/a/domain.com/forum/groupsetting so this will be the link. Th se are the access permission, it is very readable like you can read and you can understand what a settings you have to set according to your needs. Here its mentioned Contact the owner of group, who can contact the owners of this group.You can choose all members can contact, all members and manager can contact. So i have set this option. Who can view member. I will allow only members and mangers to view the members of this group. View member email addresses who can view the email addresses, if click all organisational members then everyone in the organisation or in the domain all users can view the email addresses. Now View topics… Topics are threads which are posted by users in the groups module i will show you, what topics are exactly. When you go to a groups console you see this is a type of forum, where you can post topics, so no topics are available in this group. You can create a new topic here and you can define subject, content and click on post it will be posted in groups module. I will talk about this in my next tutorials, for now i showed you what a topic is. So who can view the topics, I will set that to all organisational members and owners. I will click on save. So these setting or these permissions, access permissions have been set for HR dept group. I went to this module by clicking access settings or you can directly go to groups.google.com/a/domain/forum/groupsettings/yourgroup or you can go to settings- group settings and it will show all the group setting which i will talk in detail, but the access permissions are available here, which we already set in this tutorial.
