Manage groups from an iOS device

This page is for administrators who manage groups for an organization. To manage groups for an account that ends in gmail.com, go to  Google Groups help . You must be a Super Admin  to perform these tasks.

With Google Groups, you and your team can send email messages and meeting invitations, as well as share documents, using a single group address.

When you add a user to a group, you can easily assign them a role : owner, manager, or member. Their role determines what they can do in the group.
