Overview
Google Groups is a role and permission-based email communication system. Groups administrators can select between four different configurations:
- Email List (for regular communication with a defined list of users).
- Web Forum (interactive, online web forums for sharing ideas about common interests or projects).
- Q&A (a space for experts to respond to users' questions).
- Collaborative Inbox (a communal inbox with message assignment functions. Perfect for assigning tasks to group members or managing constituents).
As of Summer 2017, Groups were leveraged as a replacement product to App State's former Listserv system.
