Google Groups: Owner settings

 

Group Owner settings

User settings

As the owner of a Google Group, you have the ability to customize your Group's settings.

If you need to change the name of your Google Group, submit a request to askit@udel.edu. 

You can use Google Groups for many kinds of communication. Your group has been configured as an "email list," with an archive of messages on the Web. For information about Google Groups types, go to "The Four Types of Google Groups".

If you need to change the settings for your Google Group, navigate to your group's Group settings page.
