How to Create Google Workspace Groups: A Simple Step-by-Step Guide

Want to make your team communication smoother and faster? You’re in the right place! In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to create Google Workspace Groups, explain why they matter, and share pro tips to keep your business communication organized.

At gworkspacepartner.pk, powered by our sister brand creativeON, we’ve helped hundreds of businesses across Pakistan set up Google Workspace. And trust us — once you master groups, you’ll wonder how you managed without them!

What Are Google Workspace Groups?

Think of a Google Group like a WhatsApp group, but for professional email and collaboration. Instead of typing out 10 email addresses, you just send one email to something like marketing@yourcompany.com, and everyone receives it.

Common Uses of Groups:
  • Send announcements to entire teams in one click

  • Share Google Drive files securely with specific groups

  • Set up customer support inboxes (like support@yourcompany.pk)

Create project-based groups to collaborate smoothly

Why Your Business Needs Google Groups

  • Save Time: One email address for the whole team

  • Stay Organized: Team conversations in one place

  • Control Access: Decide who can post, join, or view content

Work Seamlessly: Integrated with Gmail, Drive, Calendar, and Meet

Before You Start: What You’ll Need

  • Google Workspace Admin access

  • Your company domain (e.g., yourcompany.pk)

  • About 10 minutes of your time

Step-by-Step: Creating Your First Google Workspace Group

Step 1: Sign In to the Admin Console

  • Go to admin.google.com

  • Sign in with your admin account (not your personal Gmail)

  • If you don’t see the Admin Console, you may need to ask your IT admin for access

Step 2: Open the Groups Section

  • From the left menu, click Directory → Groups

  • You’ll see all existing groups

Step 3: Start Creating Your Group

  • Click the Create Group button

  • A setup panel will appear on the right

Step 4: Add Basic Details

  • Group Name: Clear and simple (e.g., Sales Team)

  • Group Email: e.g., sales@yourcompany.pk

  • Description: Quick note on the purpose

Pro Tip: Keep names simple and easy to recognize.

Step 5: Set Access Permissions

Decide:

  • Who can view members

  • Who can post messages

  • Who can request membership

For most businesses, “Only invited users” works best for security.

Step 6: Add Team Members

  • Type in emails or names

  • Assign roles:

    • Owner: Full control, including deleting the group

    • Manager: Can manage settings but not delete

    • Member: Can participate but not manage settings

Step 7: Review & Create

  • Double-check everything on the summary page

  • Click Create Group

Your group is live
