Roles are groups of members who have the same permissions within your group. For example, you might have a role for all members who just read questions and another role to read and respond to questions. A member can have multiple roles.
There are three default roles created for every Google group. These default roles are: Owner, Manager, and Member.
The Owner role
The Owner role has the highest level of permissions and contains only the UTech group responsible for overseeing Google Groups @case.edu:
- Owners have the most permissions of any member.
- Owners can add other roles and even delete the group itself.
- Permissions for the Owner role can’t be modified.
- This role cannot be removed.
The Manager role
The Manager role is assigned to the creator of a Google group by default. Managers generally have more permissions than members, but fewer permissions than owners. Other characteristics of this role are:
- Managers primarily have member and message management responsibilities.
- Managers can add or remove managers.
- This role cannot be removed.
The Member role
All members of a group belong to the Member role by default. Other characteristics of this role are:
- Any permission set on the Member role is automatically set on all other roles.
- Permissions set in the Member role are selected and grayed out in the other roles.
- This role cannot be removed.
