These steps detail how to create a group.
Login to your Beloit College Google account and click the app chooser icon in the upper left corner near your profile picture. Select Groups from the pop-out menu.
Click the red Create Group button.
Enter a name for the group. This must be a unique name - no two groups may have the same name.
Edit the group email if you wish. The group name is inserted into the email by default.
Add a group description. It is helpful to add a description if your group will be open to the public.
Choose the groups primary language (English is the default).
Choose one of the four group types: Email List, Web Forum, Q&A Forum, and Collaborative Inbox
Set the basic permissions. These settings determine who can have access to the group. There are three areas to set: View Topics, Post, and Join the group. By default a group is private. We will look in the next sectionhow to manage group permissions.
Click the red Create button at the top of the screen.
Note: Once a Group is created, there can sometime be a short lag period while the server creates the group, assigns permissions, etc. before some settings are available.
