Google Groups

FAQs

Can I manage Google Groups with Relay.app while on the free version of Groups?

Unfortunately, no. In order to use the Google Groups API, you need to be a Google Workspace customer. Because Relay.app relies on this API to make any requested changes to your groups, if you're on the free version of Groups, you can't use Relay.app to manage groups.

Why am I getting a permissions error when I try to access my Groups?

If you are getting a permissions error (like the example below) when you try to access your Google Groups, this is most likely due to admin settings in your Google Workspace.

To access Groups, your user needs to have assigned role that includes Admin API Groups permissions, such as Super Admin or Groups Admin.

If you are not an administrator in your Google workspace, you'll need to have an admin add you.

To be added as an administrator in your Google Workspace, ask a Google Workspace admin to follow these steps:

  1. Visit https://admin.google.com/ac/list/roles

  2. Go to Groups Admin

  3. Go to Assign members and add the new admin
