Create a Group

To create a Google Group follow the steps given below.

1. Navigate to Google Groups
2. Login using your Beloit account credentials.
3. Click on the Create Group button on the top left of the screen.
4. Enter the Group name. This must be a unique name as no two groups may have the same name.
5. Edit the Group email address if you like. The group name is inserted into the email by default.
6. Add a Group description. It is helpful to add a description if your group will be open to the public.
7. Choose the Group's primary language. English is the default.
8. Choose one of the four Group types: Email List, Web Forum, Q&A Forum, and Collaborative Inbox
   • For more information on Group types see: Types of Google Groups. 
9. 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.                                                     
10. By default a group is private. To change it to public see: Make a Group Public .
11. After filling up all the sections click the Create Group button at the top left of the screen.

      The new group has now been created.

Note: Once a Group is created, there can sometimes be a short lag period while the server creates the group, assigns permissions, etc.
