Adding New Managers

If you are maintaining a Google Group and would like to allow one of your colleagues to help you maintain the list, you can add them to the Group as a manager or an owner.  

  • Owners have all the permissions that you do. You should have no more than one or two owners per group.

  • Managers can add or remove users and always post to the group.  However, they can’t delete the group or remove owners.

 

To add a manager, click on the group to enter it. Navigate to the Members list using the menu on the left hand side of the screen.
