As a Groups administrator, you can add an identifying word or phrase to the end of email addresses of groups created in the Google Groups app at groups.google.com .
For example, if you specify the suffix -user-created, and a user creates the group training@altostrat.com, the group email address is training-user-created@altostrat.com.
Why add a suffix
Add a suffix to user-created groups if you want to:
- Differentiate between groups created in the Admin console and in Google Groups . The suffix is applied only to groups created in Google Groups (at groups.google.com).
- Ensure users don’t create groups with email addresses that you or other administrators might need to use, such as “all@ your_domain.com ”.
Add a suffix to user-created group email addresses
The suffix you specify here is added to email addresses of any new groups created at the Google Groups app. If you change to a different suffix, new groups receive the new suffix while existing groups keep their original suffix.
Tip: To make the suffix stand out in your Admin console's Groups list, add a hyphen at the beginning of the suffix.
