To create a Google Group follow the steps given below.
- Navigate to Google Groups.
- Click on the Create Group button on the top left of the screen.
- Enter the Group name. This must be a unique name as no two groups may have the same name.
- Edit the Group email address if you like. 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 Group's primary language. English is the default.
- 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.
- 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. To change it to public see: Make a Group Public .
- After filling in all the sections click the Create Group button at the top left of the screen.
The new group has now been created.
Warning!
Once a Group is created, there can sometimes be a short lag period while the server creates the group, assigns permissions, etc.
