How to Create Groups in Google Workspace (The Easy Way!)

By creativeON – Your Google Workspace Partner in Pakistan

Hey there!

Ever wish you could send one email to your whole team without typing each address one by one? Or maybe you want a special place for your school club or office department to chat and share stuff easily? Guess what—you can! It’s called creating a group in Google Workspace, and it’s super simple once you know how.

Let’s walk through it together. No tech degree needed—we promise!

Google Group

What’s a Google Group?

A Google Group is like a shortcut to a bunch of people. Instead of sending emails to Ali, Ayesha, Bilal, and Sana one by one, you just send it to team@yourcompany.com—and everyone gets it.

Think of it like a WhatsApp group, but for email (plus some extra smart features).

You can use a group to:

  • Send emails to many people at once

  • Share Google Drive files with your team

  • Set up a shared inbox for customer support

How to Create a Google Group (Step-by-Step)

Ready to make your first group? Let’s do this. Here’s how you set it up in Google Workspace:

Note: Only Google Workspace admins can create groups from the Admin Console. If you’re not an admin, you’ll need to ask the person who manages your organization’s Google account.

Log in to the Admin Console

1. Log in to the Admin Console

Open the Groups Section

2. Open the Groups Section

  • From the dashboard, click on “Groups”

3. Click “Create Group”

  • You’ll see a blue “Create group” button—click it

4. Fill in the Group Details

  • Group Name: Like “Sales Team” or “Teachers”

  • Group Email Address: Like sales@yourcompany.com

  • Group Description: Something simple like “All members from Sales Department”

You’ll see a screen that looks like a form—don’t worry, it’s simple and only takes a minute.

5. Choose Access Settings

Here’s where you set who can do what in the group. Google gives you a few easy options:

  • Team – Best for internal teams to chat and share

  • Collaborative Inbox – Great for customer support or help desks

  • Announcement-only – Perfect for school notices or updates

  • Public – Anyone can post (not usually recommended for businesses)

You’ll also decide:

  • Who can join the group

  • Who can send emails

  • Who can view conversations

Tip: It’s a good idea to let only group members post, so you avoid spam from outside.

6. Add Members

  • Type in the email addresses of people you want to add

  • You can make some of them managers if you want help managing the group

7. Click Create—You’re All Set

That’s it. Your new group is ready to go.

📖 Real-Life Example: Why Groups Are Useful
🏫 For Schools
Let’s say you run a school in Pakistan. Every week, you send updates to all teachers.

Instead of typing 20+ emails, you just send to teachers@myschool.edu.pk.
🏢 For Businesses
Maybe you own a small business, and your support team needs to handle emails from customers.

Create a group with a Collaborative Inbox—now your whole team can reply from one shared place.

Common Questions About Google Groups

Yes. Admins and managers can add or remove members anytime.

You can be added to a group, but only admins can create new ones from the Admin Console.
