Google Workspace (GSuite) Groups

Overview

Groups in Google Workspace allow for communication and collaboration within an organization. Administrators can create groups to manage settings and access to services for different sets of users. Users can utilize groups for activities, such as team communication, document sharing, and meetings.

Through this integration, Apono helps you securely manage access for sets of users in your Google Workspace.

The groups feature in Google Workspace differs from the Google Groups product.
