Creating a new group

There are actually 2 ways to create a group—we're going to do it through the Groups interface instead of the Admin panel.

1. • Be sure you're using the admin@sagamorehillspta.org Google Account (sagamorehillspta@sagamorehillspta.org won't work)
   • Go to Sagamore Hills PTA's Google Groups
2. Create group (red button at top)
3. Be sure of the following:

   Group email address

   @groups.sagamorehillspta.org

   Select a group type

   Email list

   View topics, Post, & Join the group

   Public

4. Then, in the group's settings:

   Don't force using Google Accounts

   Settings → Identity → Required forms of identity → Display names only

   Don't allow posting from the web

   Information → General information → disable Allow users to post to the group on the web

   Change where replies are sent

   Email options → Post replies → To the author of the message only

   Necessitates reply'ing-to-all to include the group, but otherwise, can't reply to original sender (who might not be a subscriber)

   Subject prefix

   Subject prefix → [groupname]

   Website pointer

   Email footer → Add custom footer text →

   "Website: http://www.sagamorehillspta.org/groupname"
