At the top, click Create group. Enter group info Please select a group name that is related to the purpose and membership of the group.

Click here for a helpful resource about Google Groups. Question:  I just want members to receive notifications.  How do I keep the group members from posting messages to the group? This is a common scenario.  For example, a group is set up to send weekly updates, but you don't want people to post back to the group and have it become an open forum. Click on Group settings and set Who can post to Group managers.  Owners and managers can send mail to the group and every member will receive the mail in the inbox connected to their member account.  However, if a member tries to reply, it will not be permitted. Question:  Can I unsubscribe from receiving messages sent to the group but still be able to administer the group?  Yes!  Go to Members and you'll see a Subscription drop list for each member.  You can select how you receive emails.  

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use the "Transfer Ownership" tool in the Google Admin console: Prerequisites: You must have the necessary admin privileges to manage Drive and Docs settings. (Either Super Admin or a delegated admin with the correct permissions). Know the email addresses of both the current owner and the intended new owner. Steps: Access the Admin Console: Sign in to your Google Admin console at https://admin.google.com/. Navigate to Drive and Docs: In the left-hand menu, go to Apps > Google Workspace > Drive and Docs. Open Transfer Ownership: Click on the Transfer ownership tab. Specify Owners: From user: Enter the email address of the current owner of the files you want to transfer. Select the user from the search results that appear. To user: Enter the email address of the user who will become the new owner. Select the user from the search results. For general archiving, transfer ownership to archive@{domain}.com. e.g. archive@brivityva.com Start the Transfer: Click the blue Transfer Files button. Important Notes: The transfer process may take some time, especially for large amounts of data. Google will send an email notification to both users once the transfer is complete. If the current owner has files in their Trash, you'll need to manually restore them from Trash before the transfer to preserve those files. It's advisable to inform both the current and new owners of the transfer in advance. Additional Considerations: The “Transfer Ownership” tool allows you to transfer all of a user’s Drive content. You cannot transfer ownership of individual files or folders using this tool.
